π How AnyToSpeech Transforms Education
Modern classrooms are diverseβstudents with dyslexia, ADHD, visual impairments, English language learners, and many others all learning side-by-side. Traditional text-only instruction leaves too many students behind. AnyToSpeech provides tools that make education accessible for EVERY learner.
π― The Educational Access Challenge
The Reality:
- 15-20% of students have learning differences
- 10% are English language learners
- 5-10% have visual impairments
- Many more have temporary barriers (injuries, illnesses, etc.)
The Problem: Nearly all education relies heavily on readingβtextbooks, worksheets, articles, tests. When students struggle with reading mechanics, they can't demonstrate their true knowledge or capabilities.
The Solution: Text-to-speech technology removes reading barriers, allowing students to access content through listening.
