Text-to-Speech; what is it and how can you use it to support learners with dyslexia

6th June, 2024 (4:00pm - 4:30pm)

£20 per individual.

30 minute bite-sized learning sessions.

In this 30-minute bite-sized online learning session, Craig will explain and demonstrate the basics of text-to-speech and how it can be used to support learners with dyslexia. Tex-to-speech is the simplest and most effective way to support anyone who has a reading difficulty and can be a real game changer helping learners work more independently and reduce reliance on human readers in examination and assessments.

Craig will show how to set up and use text-to-speech on different devices such as an iPad and Chromebook to enable learners to read documents, webpages, PDFs and digital books.

He will discuss and demo using different voices and adjusting the speaking rate to suit different learning needs. There are other features that can be used alongside Text-to-speech such as word and sentence colour highlighting to help with visual tracking and aid concentration. This will all be included in the whirlwind 30 minute session which will inspire you with new ideas to share with your dyslexic learners!
