🔈 Text-to-speech
Text-to-speech encompasses a set of tools that automatically generate artificial speech, enhancing accessibility. Text is converted into spoken words through a synthetic voice integrated into the system.
A screen reader can be:
A web extension, like Speechify, which reads certain information within the browser.
A software application (JAWS, NVDA, Orca, etc.) that can be downloaded and installed on the operating system to provide access to the entire system and its applications.
🔈 Examples of text-to-speech tools
VoiceOver (free, on Mac) is Apple's screen reader, allowing visually impaired users to operate a Mac OS X computer. It uses integrated text-to-speech technology to read aloud the text displayed on the screen.
Speechify (paid) is a leading text-to-speech tool in France. It converts text into a humanized voice and can read emails, long documents, and more with natural-sounding voices. Its added benefit: the Chrome extension can read almost anything you see in Chrome (Google Docs, web pages, etc.).
