Early Childhood Education Databases

Two popular iCONN databases will have a new feature soon. Kids InfoBits and the Discovering Collection will have ReadSpeaker added on about November 1st. ReadSpeaker is a simple to use audio text reader that will “speak” the text of items retrieved in searches.

The ReadSpeaker player will appear when a file has been selected for
viewing, printing, e-mailing, or listening. Users with questions about how ReadSpeaker works can click on the ReadSpeaker Help button.

ReadSpeaker comes with the ability to play or download the audio text as an MP3 file. To download the file, the user must first agree that the use will be for educational, noncommercial use only.
