Most devices have the capacity to read out text without the need for installing additional software and students are able to not only adjust the volume, they are also able to adjust the speed and pitch of the computer-generated voice and choose an accent that they find the easiest to work with. Students can focus on listening to the content and learning, rather than concentrating most of their cognitive efforts on decoding and reading accurately. Text to Voice or Text to Speech allows a student to highlight text and have their device read to them. It also assists older students to work with a greater degree of independence. This can assist with managing lengthy homework assignments, reading larger passages of text in novels or completing internet based research.

When considering the portable nature of devices used at school and at home, students are able to utilise these tools across their day and at home. By allowing the use of assistive technology, we can reduce some of the difficulties that students may face when being asked to read and process large amounts of text and when asked to complete written tasks and assessments. In the classroom, this often results in reduced content knowledge and understanding, reduced vocabulary development and poor ability to demonstrate their skills and knowledge at a level consistent with their overall understanding. Best of all, they are free to use!įor students who have literacy difficulties, reading for comprehension and producing extended written passages can be very challenging. Although there are many free and paid apps and software titles available, most devices that students are already using have both dictation and text reader functions built in. Most frequently we are asked about various apps and programs that can be used to allow students to have information read out to them (Text to Speech) and to be able to use their voice to produce written text (Voice to Text).
