A multisensory approach to reading with TextAloud can help your student learn better

Text to Speech software for the Windows PC

TextAloud converts text into natural-sounding speech. It can be a valuable assistive technology tool to compliment the learning process for struggling readers. For example, a reading assignment might take a student with dyslexia three times as long as other students. TextAloud helps level the playing field with a multisensory approach whereby the student reads text on a screen while listening at the same time for improved fluency and comprehension.
  • Change the font, text size, and background color as well as setting the speed for the student's preferred pace
  • Text is highlighted by the word or line and for students who are easily distracted, masking can be enabled
  • Optional premium voices offer an incredible variety of languages and accents to help keep students engaged
  • Save reading to audio file for listening on other devices as with an audiobook
  • Proofread by ear while working on written assignments

Integration

TextAloud has built in extensions for the Chrome web browser and Microsoft Word. A floating toolbar lets TextAloud speak selected text from any window. Users of online save-for-later services Pocket and Instapaper can import bookmarked articles into TextAloud.

The interface is understandable for new users while also streamlined for higher volume work. Features and controls are optimized through years of feedback from a strong base of TextAloud users. Our friendly and helpful support team is always ready if you have questions!
