Sora’s new Read to Me feature is the game-changer you’ve been waiting for: text-to-speech reading support for every student.
What is Read to Me?
Read to Me allows students to select a word, phrase, sentence, or paragraph in an ebook and have the text read aloud. Customization tools like reading speed and volume controls let students tailor their experience to meet their unique reading needs.
Note: Publishers have the ability to opt out of Read to Me in Sora.
This update will download automatically. To increase awareness of Read to Me, students will see an announcement the first time they open an ebook after the update.
Additionally, students can now hear pronunciations of words they define. Wherever a definition appears in Sora, students can select the speaker icon to hear the word pronounced.
