UDL Guideline 1.3 - Offer alternatives for visual information
Voice Generator allows the user to type text, press play, and a computerized voice will read the text aloud. The user can save frequently used phrases for easy access. This app could be beneficial to increase communication for students with hearing loss or students who don't feel comfortable talking in groups.
General Critique
The student is in control of what information is shared via Voice Generator and the text is read in a timely fashion. Teachers do not need to be directly involved with the student utilizing the app, but should serve as model by accepting communication through Voice Generator and encouraging student participation.
