[ARCHIVED] Tex-to-speech option for differentiation

[deborah_munlin]

Does Canvas have a text-to-speech option? If so, how/where can I implement if I need to differentiate?

 @deborah_munlin ‌, if your school has enabled it, students can use Microsoft Immersive Reader in Canvas pages for text-to-speech, as detailed in https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-18029-42121165735

ReadSpeaker has a plugin with Canvas and can support a reading testing accommodation for students with this requirement.  ReadSpeaker offers a UDL model(Plugin). that embeds natively within Canvas or can be setup with ReadSpeaker TextAid via an LTI for just specific users.  TextAid offers a browser extension that was designed specially to speech enable the difficult iFrames in Canvas and also provide an OCR feature for the most complex content.
