Awesome Talkster is a free, easy to use tool that allows you to select online text and have it read to you. It provides synchronized highlighting so that the reader can follow along even more easily.
There are many uses for this in the classroom. Students can learn to pronounce the words they are reading and can build their comprehension. It can make the Web more accessible to people with impaired vision and/or impaired ability that makes using the mouse difficult because it can be navigated with keystrokes.
The talkser can accept additional voices (languages) such as Spanish and other languages. This will be very helpful with our ESL students!
Have a great time with the Talkster! I can think of many uses for this tool. If you need assistance, please ask me!
