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.

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!
