Improving Digital Text / Text to Speech

How does it work:
Students with learning disabilities may benefit from hearing a selection read aloud as a pre-reading and/or post-reading means of improving comprehension. For some students, having selected words on the screen read by the computer can reduce frustration. The easiest way to get the computer to read text is to use speech features within a program such as Kidspiration, AppleWorks, or KidPix Deluxe. You can also use a free speech utility that will read any highlighted text when you press a key combination. For the Macintosh 10.3 and above, the utility is built-in (System Preferences>Speech>Spoken Interface). NaturalReader is one of several free choices for Windows. See all your options under Talking Text.
