Talking word processors are programs that give students
speech feedback as they are writing. The software repeats each letter that is
typed, and reads each word after the spacebar is pressed. This is a tool that
is very helpful for students that have trouble writing. This software can be
very helpful for students who suffer from dyslexia because having their writing
read back to them will help them to edit their work. A popular talking word
processor today is Write:Outloud. This is a software that was created by Don
Johnson, and can be found at http://donjohnston.com/writeoutloud/#.ViVuRaKVV9Y
. This is a program that has received rave reviews. It is not a free product,
but it is well worth the money that will be spent on it.
