Abraham Lincoln once stated, “When I read aloud, two senses catch the idea: first, I see what I read; second, I hear it, and therefore I can remember it better.” Expanding on Lincoln's idea, ReadSpeaker’s text-to-speech technology incorporates more than you seeing and hearing your material. Our suite of tools perfectly fit Universal Design for Learning: the WHAT of learning, the HOW of learning, and the WHY of learning.
ReadSpeaker has developed easy to implement, cost-effective solutions to allow educational institutions to integrate text to speech quickly and easily, promoting engagement, increasing comprehension and depth of learning. It also has been proven to boost motivation and self-esteem, aid with assessments, reduce screen fatigue, and improve learning results.
