Ginger Premium adds Text-To-Speech Support

Brian S. Friedlander, Ph.D

For many students who present with writing disabilities it is not uncommon for them to also have difficulty in the area of reading. So while Ginger may be a great solution for some students who can read the suggested corrections, for others this can be a challenge. Ginger Software recognizes that some students may require Text-To-Speech (TTS) support so that they can approve the corrections independently. For these students that need text to speech support, Ginger Premium is available. With Ginger Premium students can independently listen to their sentence as well as the proofread

sentence and determine if the suggestions are correct. If Ginger Premium flags a word, students can listen to the alternatives in the list by simply hovering over the suggestion. Once the student places the cursor over the word, Ginger Premium will automatically read the word and the example. Students have the ability to change the voice and the speed in which the words are read.

Ginger Premium uses a very high quality Text-To-Speech engine which makes it easy for students to listen to. There is a choice between a female and male voice that students can select based on their personal preference.

Students who want to be able to proofread their work and need Text-to-Speech support will find Ginger Premium an ideal tool to allow them to correct their documents independently from within Microsoft Word, Outlook, and very soon – Internet Explorer.
