Read it to Me! Tools that Convert Text to Audio

Have you found the perfect article, website or document to share with your students but know the readability isn't appropriate for all?  Here are my top two picks to convert the text into audio allowing your students to listen to the content and read along.  The video below demonstrates both tools in action.


  1. Natural Reader - is an easy to use software that can convert any written text such as MS Word, Webpage, PDF files, and Emails into spoken words. It can also convert any written text into audio files such as MP3 or WAV for your CD player or iPod.
  2. Announcifyreads out loud every website you want with one simple click. Annoucify is Android and Chrome compatible.
