Make any text into a computer-generated audio file with Snow Leopard » Moving at the Speed of Creativity

"For any student having trouble reading material on a screen, text-to-speech technologies can be wonderful. My March 2008 post, “Converting text to and from speech for accessibility and convenience” addressed some of the software options available today for text to speech functionality. Of those, “CLiCk, Speak” is probably the main one to check out. It’s cross-platform, works in the FireFox browser as a plug-in, and is free.

In addition to those text-to-speech options, the latest version of the Macintosh operating system (OS 10.6 “Snow Leopard”) includes the built-in ability to convert highlighted text in many applications into an audio file. Here is an example of a file I created while writing this post, of this paragraph."

Free Interactive Concentration Game for Elementary Students

"It allows students to play the classic game of Concentration by themselves or against a friend while they practice numbers, geometric shapes, multiplication facts, fractions, decimals and percents.

The activity can be played in one of two modes depending on the level of the student - hidden (covered windows) or visible (glass windows). This allows students to focus on the match itself without having to also remember where the cards are located. "

Official Google Blog: Automatic captions in YouTube

"To help address this challenge, we've combined Google's automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology with the YouTube caption system to offer automatic captions, or auto-caps for short. Auto-caps use the same voice recognition algorithms in Google Voice to automatically generate captions for video. The captions will not always be perfect (check out the video below for an amusing example), but even when they're off, they can still be helpful—and the technology will continue to improve with time."
