Another VERY cool new technology is CapturaTalk! This clever program allows your Window Mobile phone to take a photo of written text and then have it read aloud for you in a clear UK English voice! It will also read aloud text in documents on the phone – including emails and SMS messages received along with web pages visited.
Click here to view a short video which highlights how CapturaTalk makes it easy to instantly read text anywhere that it can be photographed. The content of books, menus, schedules and work directions are all instantly accessible and understandable to struggling readers. It will even read aloud definitions of words which a user has difficulty understanding. This new technology was also recently featured on BBC news.

What a great way for contemporary students to keep pace in an unobtrusive way.
Will be keen to trial it with a student!
