You may be able to use this or get your faculty to use this to convert some of their written material to audio form for the student. www.nextup.com TextAloud is Windows, GhostReader is for the Mac. The website has links to places where you can purchase additional voices in a variety of languages. Good luck! ~~ Academic Technologies http://apps.carleton.edu/campus/at/ Foreign Language Technology http://go.carleton.edu/f My Calendar: https:[log in to unmask] Carly J.
