Talking word processor software provides verbal feedback as the student types, echoing each letter as it is typed and each word as the spacebar is pressed. This software can also read back to the user, word by word or the entire written piece. The user can choose to hear each letter, word, sentence, and/or paragraph as it is being typed. Not only can the user have their own writing spoken back to them, but they can also open text files (such as a worksheet or a test) and have it read to them!
This AT option may be beneficial to students with reading difficulties or English Language Learner (ELL) students.
Here is a introduction video on talking word processor software:
