Oribi Speak: Talking Keyboard and Writing Support
Oribi Speak is a Chrome add-on that provides a range of features to support reading and writing. With high-quality speech synthesis from Acapela and Microsoft, this program effectively assists users in the reading and writing process.
For reading support, Oribi Speak allows users to select text in Google Docs, Word Online, or other web pages and have it read out loud using speech synthesis. It also offers the ability to highlight an image with text and have it read out loud using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and speech synthesis. Users can adjust the speech rate and choose from over 90 voices in 31 languages.
In terms of writing support, Oribi Speak offers the option to have individual letter sounds read out loud each time a key is pressed, aiding in letter recognition. Additionally, it provides word and sentence echo, which reads out loud each word or sentence once it is finished being written. The program also includes a built-in word prediction feature that suggests words, helping with spelling and enabling faster writing.
Oribi Speak offers a 30-day free trial, allowing users to test the program before making a purchase. No credit card information is required during the trial period. For volume purchases and domain-wide installation, users can contact the developer at
