[Athen] Seeking Feedback on "Beeline Reader"

[Joshua Hori via athen-list]

This comes built into SensusAccess and A11y if you request access to it. We’ve found students who do not like TTS to prefer the gradient guidance that BeeLineReader provides.

We have it integrated into Libretext OER textbooks if you’d like a demonstration of the service.

Click on Readability on the left hand of the screen.
Choose the BeelineReader option that best fits your needs (I prefer inverted+dark mode).
This is an older version of the technology and will be phased out soon.

We have updated to include immersive reader in Libretext, available in the upper right hand corner of the screen as “Enter Reader Mode”. That also has BeelineReader integrated if you navigate to the readability section of immersive reader.

Best,

Afternoon All,

Received a request to use Beeline Reader on campus. This is a new one for me, would appreciate anyone’s thoughts regarding the product, especially considering we have other reading support tools available.

Cheers,

Mike
