Talking word processing software
programs provide speech feedback as text is being typed. Talking word
processing software has other accommodations for students such as, enlarging the size of the text, changing the
color of the foreground/background and highlighting the text as it is read to
assist students in tracking and following along with the text.
Students who would benefit from
this software would be students with poor reading skills, students experience
difficult maintaining attention to the text, and visual impairments.
“Three frequently used talking word processing programs
include Classroom Suite (IntelliTools), Write:OutLoud (Don Johnston) and
Talking Word Processor (Premier Assistive Technology)” (George-project).
Above is a video tutorial of how to
use talking word processor software. After viewing this video I learned how to
use this in my classroom to help make accommodations for students who struggle
with reading and comprehension skills.
