The document discusses various apps that can be used to provide text-to-speech and accessibility features for struggling readers on iOS devices. It lists apps such as VoiceOver, Speak Selection, iBooks, and others that can read text aloud from ebooks, web pages, and other sources using the built-in iOS text-to-speech features. It also lists additional apps such as Read to Me, Speak+, and Mr. Talker HD that can convert text to speech within apps and allow exported audio files. The document provides links to resources about using these apps for special education needs.
4. Accessibility
VoiceOver
Text to speech tools provide access to print to struggling readers to support
decoding, vocabulary and comprehension skills. With accessibility features of Voice
Over and Speak Selection tools integrated into iOS5 on iDevices, text to speech is
readily available in many apps (not all) and solidly when accessing Internet-based
text using Wi-Fi.
The iOS5 speak tools are rather amazing when you turn on Voice Over Triple Click
in Accessibility (General>Accessibility>Triple-click Home> Voice Over selected)
and have the Speak Selection turned on.
