ODE’s Vision: All items will have a speech component

presented through a screen reader “Text to speech” business rules will be

consistent with current Read-Aloud Accommodation guidelines

Text to speech will also be available to the general student population through OAKS Secure Browser (voice will vary based on computer’s native voice pack)

Remaining Questions:

How to ensure compatibility with Nemeth?

How to ensure compatibility with supported Refreshable Braille Displays?

What business rules to apply?

Things to note:•For the same item, the material read

aloud may differ between the general education Text to Speech and the Braille version.

Table Assignments Confirm common understanding of

proposed text-to-speech functionality Brainstorm solutions to remaining

questions Identify clarifying questions for vendors
