| Title | Software Allows Students to Listen to Their Own Writing |
| Body | Another use for ReadPlease. http://www.readplease.com/english/order A student suggested last night, after composing a short text together as a class, to pass it through ReadPlease for fun. Before long, they realised listening to their very own compositions helped them edit and find their own mistakes. A great way to encourage and show students their instinct is very powerful. Taylor-Johnston, J. Re: [NETEACH-L] ReadPlease. Neteach-L listserv. NETEACH-L@HUNTER.LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU (11 Apr. 2006). ---- Macintosh users can easily do this with the built in speech synthesizer. Put the text in TextEdit and choose speech, or use any application and choose speech under the "Services" menu. If you think you or your students would benefit from this kind of thing put on their iPods, they could try the "Put_Speech_on_Your-iPod_004. (84 Kb)," a free AppleScript downloadable from http://www.manythings.org/mac This will give you the added benefit of being able to "proofread" anything your write while driving to work or taking a walk.
