[Athen] Reading support for Website

[Moore, Corinna]

Browsealoud may be a good option.  Is anyone else using this?

I was just thinking about adding a link for students to download NR or add the bookmark tool on their own.

Unclear as to your funding source.

Texthelp has some several software, e.g., Read & Write, which will read live from browsers, Word, etc.  See there Read&Write Web App at they op of their page.

For individual documents, Central Access Reader will export mp3:

My information is pretty straight forward; make an appointment and bring documentation so we can provide you with equal access.  However, the advisor had much more information.  As in five pages of handouts with lots of words.  The group of students were primarily SLD diagnosis so most of them don't read well.  This made me realize that all those papers are probably not going to help since they struggle to read and maybe we should add some type of think to our website so students who do have difficulty reading can link to a page that can be read aloud to them.  I was wondering if anyone has done that?  I know Natural Reader has a button you can add to your bookmark bar that will read webpages.  However, we have documents that the student can open and save that they would need to open in NR's free download.
