Technology Feature Brief: Read Aloud
Center on Inclusive Software for Learning (CISL) at CAST
Date2023
The ability to have text read aloud is an important access point for many learners and a helpful support to others. The feature gives those with challenges seeing or decoding text access to rigorous academic content.
The Center on Inclusive Software for Learning (CISL) at CAST conducted literature reviews and testing within Clusive, our adaptive and accessible web-based reader designed during the project, to develop Technology Feature Briefs. These briefs are designed for educators, developers, and researchers to find out more about particular features within technology tools, how they’re used, and whether they might be effective in addressing different barriers within a technology environment.
