From Claro Software, the developers of ClaroRead and ClaroPDF.
ClaroSpeak uses text-to-speech (TTS) to let you speak back PDF and Word documents you open from Google Drive or your Chromebook or Windows or Mac machine, or documents you type yourself. It supports UK and US English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese, Indonesian, Polish and Russian. Additional voices may be available depending on your system, and you can install more voices from the Chrome Web Store.
ClaroSpeak can support proofing and editing by people of all abilities: it is easier to hear a mistake than read it. But it is of especial use in schools, colleges, universities and elsewhere in education for people with print impairments, such as dyslexia. The ability to change the font (typeface), font size, background colour and text colour can be help to people with Irlen Syndrome or with sight problems (visual impairment or blindness) by reducing or increasing the contrast.

- (2017-10-11) Julie Smith: Very helpful app! Reads my PDFs beautifully and I love the features to assist with writing.
- (2017-04-30) Vishen Maharaj: Great software. Only problem with the webversion for chrome and that is only reads a few words and then stops. Please fix. happy to pay for software ...
- (2016-12-02) Euni Ichigo S-Guranto: It is a great app but only seems to read out 35 words at a time before stopping completely... :/ Don't really fancy where the predictive bar is either but the UI is lovely. I did like the ability to have it scribe what i said!
- (2016-07-15) Ken Denny: Nice speed and does not falter at end of line. Nice touch with changing the textcolor and background. Dictionary was vey helpful.
- (2015-07-07) Linda Wilson: Great idea and I have liked these products on the iPad, but I did not find the word prediction very good, nor is it convenient to have the word appear so far above the writing window. Also, what you really need is a way to read a website, but you have to copy and paste to get that to happen. Also doesn't read PDFs or even allow you to paste a link in for reading.
