Talking Word Processor Software


Talking word processor software is designed to provide speech feedback to text that is being typed.  Students using this software can hear any letter, word, sentence, or paragraph that is typed.  This multi-sensory feedback helps students with correcting their grammar and spelling errors.  This program also allows for alternations such as changing text size, color of the background, and highlighting the text when it is read to help the student follow along when read aloud.

There are three word processing programs that are frequently used in schools are Classroom Suite by IntelliTools, Write OutLoud by Don Johnston, and Talking Word Processor by Premier Assistive Technology.

The link below provides a video tutorial on how to use talking word processor software.  Enjoy!
