Apps

• Phonics - Sounds Application (iPad & Android - Click Here)
• Reading Apps
  • Even after remediating our kids’ dyslexia with research-based reading methods (LINK) some of our kids still prefer to be able to listen to text. Some people just learn better auditorily. This category of app includes a variety of what is known as text-to-speech because they literally take the text and convert it to sound – reading aloud to the listener.
  • Apps that read text aloud, especially those that highlight words as they go make reading a more pleasant and more productive experience. There are also apps that can read PDF documents aloud, apps that convert pictures of text to readable text through optical character recognition (OCR),
• ClaroPDF

Includes text-to-speech with synchronized highlighting, annotation tools, ability to add audio and video notes, and Dropbox integration. $6.99
• Google Play Books
  • This is a great e-book app for Android devices because it integrates with the operating system’s TalkBack accessibility feature in order to provide continuous text-to-speech with synchronized highlighting.
