We all learn in
different ways – some of us prefer to read information, some of us prefer to
listen to it. If you learn best
by listening, then you should know about a tool called Speech Maker, which is a feature of Read and Write Gold software!
Available on all the
PCs in the library, Read and Write Gold software is an easy-to-use toolbar that
supports all students in their
reading, writing and research. When you
double-click on the Read and Write Gold icon on the desktop, it launches the
toolbar that sits at top of your screen until you need it!
One of the more nifty tools is called Speech Maker. This allows you to highlight text (from a
Word document, a PDF, a webpage etc) and convert it into an audio file (like a
music track, only with spoken words).
This file can easily be transferred to your MP3 player or listened to
via your laptop or PC. Have a look at
this video to see just how easy it is!
