ReadSpeaker provides the “Listen” function for the HTML content in eLearn, while Doc Reader gives learners the option to listen to external course content such as PDFs and Word documents. However, courses may have resources that are not accessible through these software tools, or faculty may wish to provide an additional way to access course content. It is important to note that OntarioLearn does not have ReadSpeaker, and the addition of a text-to-speech tool provides a much needed accessibility resource for these students.
