Text to Speech

Engage your students with simple, clear read-back.
Just press the "Speak" key.

Many case studies on the subject of text to speech confirm that the ability of struggling readers and writers to hear text has a direct positive impact on reading and writing skill development.

Students who hear their writing read back to them listen for proper word choice and sentence structure. Listening to text develops stronger sight/word recognition and increases vocabulary. Additionally, students who hear their text are far more likely to engage in critical editing and revision steps. They're more engaged in their writing and are more motivated to write.

Many in the AT community are reporting that the Fusion with a built-in speaker is an especially effective approach with their struggling writers. For some students headphones may be a distraction, while others just enjoy and benefit by hearing their writing read out loud. 

The Fusion with text to speech is a unique and powerful tool and was designed specifically with your special needs students in mind.
