Text-to-Speech

Text-to-speech (TTS) allows students to focus on the content rather than on the act of reading, resulting in a better understanding of the material. This not only helps students more likely to retain information, but it also increases their confidence and motivation.

TTS converts text into spoken voice output. These include human and computer-generated voices. Many students prefer hearing human-read audio, but since it is not always available, familiarizing students with computer-based voices is a benefit.
