As a closure to my past blogs in talking about AT and the writing process, I had the privilege of watching an online webinar about AT and their effectiveness for Reading. While viewing this hour long discussion, I found out very interesting information.
I learned some approaches to use that can be beneficial including text readers, screen readers, and electronic texts that can be in power points, word documents, pdf files, booksharing, internet, etc.
In selecting a device, choosing ones that are of higher quality voice are essential, especially ones with acapella voices.
Another key fact that I found to be very true is devices that are Initial text to speech do not summarize or stop at certain parts during speech to give the reader a heads up to pay attention to certain parts. So it is important to modify test accordingly as the device will not have the means to do.
*I learned sooo much from this webinar including techniques and devices to use.
