WordTalk

What is WordTalk?

WordTalk is a free utility developed by Rod Macaulay from TASSCC in Aberdeen to add speech output to text in Microsoft Word documents. It can also be used to listen to different suggestions offered by the spellchecker.

WordTalk is a free text-to-speech plugin developed for use with all versions of Microsoft Word (from Word 97 upwards). It will speak the text of the document and will highlight it as it goes.

Children with Reading and writing difficulties often benefit from having text read aloud to them.
This could be a valuable resource for kids at home or at school.

In his blog, EdTe.ch, Tom Barrett write about his experience of using game consoles in the classroom.

I can see the potential for Consoles in Classrooms, especially after examining what the students

were able to  achieve using Endless Ocean.
