Spoken Text, Proof, Read, Hear and See

Did you know your Apple device can read text out loud? The example below is using the human sampled English voice Alex. Alex has artificial intelligence built in and reads ahead by about a paragraph, to determine how to speak the word. Alex pauses at commas and takes a breath at periods. Alex is a great proofreader. I like to use Alex to proofread my email. Imagine learners using Alex to proofread their work? Hearing grammar is a great way to learn grammar. Seeing words highlighted as they are spoken can help with literacy.
