E-Learning Consultants, NeonTrain, delivers custom course content for small to medium businesses through D2L's digital platform Brightspace. Integrating ReadSpeaker text to speech, provides customers with accessibility and learning support at no additional cost.
NeonTrain, understanding the importance of supporting accessibility for their customers, began to search for a text to speech solution that could be seamlessly integrated into their platform of choice, D2L’s BrightSpace.
ReadSpeaker’s established partnership with D2L helped simplify the search and NeonTrain selected ReadSpeaker as their text to speech partner.
NeonTrain incorporated ReadSpeaker into D2L’s Brightspace platform and offers it at no cost to their customers.
Enhancing accessibility was a key reason for the adoption but NeonTrain quickly became aware of the other learning benefits associated with text to speech.
Customers enjoy the ease of use and the ability to simply speech-enable their e-learning course content to support all learners in myriad ways.
