Boost Reading, Learning & Memory with Text-to-Speech
Ever thought about how learners really benefit when they can listen to text and read it? The latest ReadSpeaker blog breaks down the research and real-world impact of Text-to-Speech (TTS) tools for improving literacy, understanding, and retention.
You’ll discover:
-
Why TTS is more than just an assistive tool: hearing and seeing words together boosts decoding, vocabulary, and reading fluency.
-
Proof from studies that comprehension improves when students use audio + text- especially with tougher texts. Exported from meta-analyses and practical classroom trials.
-
How recall gets stronger when multiple senses are engaged – not just seeing but also hearing content.
-
Tips for making TTS work in your LMS or classroom: from choosing tools with good integrations (Canvas, Moodle, Brightspace, Blackboard) to training both students and instructors.
If you care about inclusive learning, equitable access, or simply helping learners digest and retain content better, this post is a must-read.
