How to place a Text to Speech reader into your blog!

I was searching some excellent blogs and discovered a way to have my blog posts read aloud. The digital tool is from a company named odiogo. Is was very easy to install. All you need to do to get started is enter your blog url and your email. Click on the odiogo link above to get started. You can also see how it works on my blog.

  2. If you are planning to follow Joe's directions, be aware that it may not work as described. I tried to add it to this blog. Currently it is not working. Watch what happens here, and we can speak about it on Thursday.

  3. Hi. Very cool! I've found that, if it's an option, students love to listen - well, when it suits them, I suppose. The fifth graders I have in library class have been using/exploring the database KidsInfo Bits, and if they can have articles read to them, they will definitely give it a go. Twelve computers, zero headphones, one headache... but fun to see them engaged.
