Does anybody have experience using text to speech software with Canvas? I came across this list of software. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Hello snugent,
I have not tried the readers on the link. However, I have done some investigating using NVDA.
Pros:
- Free download
- Will read within Canvas
- Ability to control speech- will read whatever the mouse hovers over (can change this in options)
Cons:
- Pretty robotic sounding- can adjust in settings
- It reads content very fast- I'm pretty sure this could be adjusted
Here are some others I've looked into:
Read&Write for Google:
Snapverter- converts any PDF ( for inaccessible documents) and converts to accessible doc
Snapverter feature video- convert ANY doc to an accessible doc- annotate, highlight, screen reader, etc.
Read&Write- Powered by Google for accessibility
Read&Write feature video- shows all the tools i.e. dictionary, image dictionary, speak it, predictor, annotation, vocabulary builder, voice notes, etc.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Stephanie
