ClaroSpeak

Get it here.
Cost: Free

UDL Guideline 1.3 Offer alternatives for visual information
ClaroSpeak US is a text-to-speech app that allows the learner to type or paste content into, then tap the play button to hear the audio. This provides options for learners with visual disabilities or gives personal preference to the learner. The app can also save content as audio or text files, and send files via email, or text message. It also has built-in features such as highlighting and varied rate of the speaking voice.

General Critique
 ClaroSpeak is a user-friendly app that can accommodate for disabilities and heighten learning for others. It may allow a student who is copying a rough draft of a report to listening to the spoken playback to make easy corrections. There is also an option of an in-app purchase for different voices in 27 languages.
