Text-to-speech software was made for those who may be vision impaired or have other disabilities which stop them from being able to read. As of March 2021, we introduced closed captions to accompany our webinars and online meetings and we’re pleased to announce that both members and non-members can now benefit from closed captions on our recorded content.
Whilst developing the connection between our content and text-to-speech, we also came across software developed by Google Chrome called “Read Aloud”. Read Aloud is software intended for users who prefer to listen to content instead of reading, those with dyslexia or other learning disabilities”
