In this article, we highlight a few options of text-to-speech (TTS) browser extensions that you can use in your classroom. TTS technology is a type of assistive technology that reads digital text aloud. We recommend you install and test the browser extensions before using it live in the classroom to see if it fits your needs. Additionally, under the "Operating system tools" section, we highlight ways you can enable assistive technology at the operating system level.
