ReadSpeaker is a text-to-speech technology which is available to all Marist Brightspace users. The software is already in place and needs no additional steps by faculty or staff. ReadSpeaker provides dozens of languages and natural-sounding synthesized voices.
With ReadSpeaker webReader, the content on a website can be read aloud to you. With one click, the text on a web page is simultaneously read aloud and highlighted so readerscan easily follow along, regardless of which kind of device they are using. This makes the content more accessible and the reader doesn't have to download a thing.
