Voz Me let's you enter text in various languages! But the English voice was mildly British and the Spanish voice was decidedly Spanish--which may be a bit confusing to our primarily Latin American population. It's also that funky computer voice, so the cadence is a bit off.
In the Classroom
A quickie text to speech tool such as this gives kids an easy-to-access one-click tool to getting an added layer of support. And the audio files can be saved as MP3 for future use. You could create little sound files to load with text for anything on your course page.
This could also be used to communicate with parents who may struggle with literacy. We have a large population of parents who are English Language Learners. Often speaking / listening skills are much stronger than reading skills. A tool like this would enhance the home / school connection and give the parents the opportunity to use school communication as a learning tool for themselves.
