What SpeechStream Customers are Saying...
...Using SpeechStream with WriteToLearn
“Some of my students stumble over larger
vocabulary words. When using WriteToLearn with
the text-to-speech enabled by SpeechStream from
Texthelp Systems, they can put on their headsets
and click on the word to hear it read aloud. I also
have a Spanish-speaking student who listened to
the text in a WriteToLearn summarizing exercise
in English so he could better understand what he
was reading.
It’s a great tool.”

...Using SpeechStream with Weekly Reader
“As educational publishers, we wanted to optimize our
Facts for Learning Web site for educators and students by
implementing functionality that would allow site visitors
to hear content read aloud. Educators strive to provide
multiple ways of learning for students and know that
hearing text read aloud while looking at that same text
can be helpful, particularly for younger, ELL, and learningdisabled
students.
We found a solution in SpeechStream from Texthelp
Systems. SpeechStream provides a fl oating toolbar that
allows teachers and students to select text and listen to
content read aloud by an easy-to-understand voice. In
addition, a dictionary, multiple highlighters, and a
translator provide extra tools to help students read,
organize, and learn.”
