TorTalk reaches 50% of Sweden’s students

More people are choosing TorTalk

During the spring of 2017, more colleges and universities began to work widely with TorTalk text-to-speech. This means that over half of Sweden’s students now have access to TorTalk in computer rooms, on exam computers, and on their own computers.

Site license with TorTalk is getting common

A Site license means colleges and universities can have TorTalk Windows and TorTalk Mac in computer rooms, on exam computers, and the students’ and staff’s own computers.

On-site training

A site license for an excellent text-to-speech program is a good start, but the most important thing is that the tools are being used. With the TorTalk site license, on-site training is always included with the goal that all participants will become confident in using and demonstrating TorTalk.

For some years now, we have been supplementing the training with a section on how to study using text-to-speech. Study techniques, learning styles and barriers for those who listen to information are some topics we cover.
