Capti Voice
Capti Voice is a text-to-speech literacy tool designed to convert text to audio for a more accessible reading experience for students. With its ability to read text-to-speech online, Capti works seamlessly across platforms and devices, making PDF’s, EPUB, and a variety of other text formats more accessible to all students. It includes features for students such as having the option for a larger print size, increasing contrast of the words on a page, and using text-to-speech.
Capti can be customized for each student to meet their unique needs, and it provides an array of accommodations to help learners consume content. Students can then listen to content at their own speed, and use tools to define words, highlight important passages, and even translate into their primary language.
