Read&Write Toolbar - Text to Speech

Text-to-speech that helps every learner understand and be understood

Make learning accessible and independent across your school

What text-to-speech software means for your learners

When students can listen as they read, they’re able to access the text more easily, keep pace in lessons and their confidence grows.

Text-to-Speech features turn written text into clear, natural speech. They help every learner understand what they’re reading, take part in lessons, and show what they know.

For students who find reading challenging, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences, it’s often the support that unlocks their full potential.
