As I continue to further my journey through assistive technology, I am understanding more and more the importance of having multiple means of representation. As I mentioned earlier in my blog, text to speech is an application that creates a spoken version of text. Text to speech can be used in different capacities, and is particularly helpful to students with visual impairments as well as students with reading difficulties and dyslexia.
Textaloud is text to speech software for your windows PC which can convert text from many things like word documents and emails into spoken word for the user. The newest version of TextAloud can be synced with your iTunes which makes it very accessible.

The above website is the home of textaloud where you can purchase it directly. They also offer great tech support for free. With the provided access of user forums and video tutorials this software is very user friendly, and for $29.95 it is rather affordable as well.
