Speechify is a reading and writing solution for those who prefer to listen to their Word documents, webpages, or PDF files instead of reading in a traditional manner.
Speechify features visual highlighting of spoken text, the conversion of scanned documents into text documents, word prediction support, highlighting and highlight extraction, and the conversion of text documents into audio formats.
The Office of Accessible Education has purchased a campus site license for the software that extends to students, faculty, and staff computers.
