"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for Text to Speech (TTS)
Unchecking the follow-along highlighter doesn't work. It keeps highlighting the text and following along anyway. Too bad, because this I was hoping that unchecking that box would keep the TTS reader from scrolling the page all over the place while is was reading - and guessing wrongly what text should be yellow highlighted. This is using OperaGX by the way.

About Text to Speech (TTS)
Text to Speech (TTS) is a multi-browser addon that allows you to read any website with natural-sounding voices, from a single word to multiple paragraphs. Working with this addon is very simple, and it supports a wide range of languages (for a detailed list, please read the description section.). Please open a website with text content in order to use this addon. Click on the activator icon after selecting any desired text (green icon on top of the selection). The addon will begin the voice, and the activator icon will display the progress. Please select text paragraph by paragraph so that the highlight feature works properly.

This app met all of my clients needs, and we will be requesting this app as a component of an iPad based communication device. The app has a simple interface with a well designed, easy to navigate configuration.

Text to Speech (TTS) reviews
Does not read texts in Ukrainian and Russian on the sites with the help of a bubble, as well as the text is pre-copied and pasted in a new window after clicking on the button on the taskbar in the Opera browser. English works stably. The function to download, or view the availability of downloaded, installed languages not found in the browser, on the site and instructions on YouTube.

Predictable reviews
We have seen a huge increase in Joe’s confidence and willingness to communicate at school since he began using Predictable

Stories “Thank goodness I now have my ModelTalker ‘voice’ to use with the Predictable app on the mini iPad provided by CAYA.” - Sara's story “Predictable knows what I want to say and helps me with my spelling. I am also using a fancy stylus which is easier than my finger to type. I use my iPad at my day program, at the doctor and a lot at my home. My house manager says that I talk more now and my confidence is better. I know I can talk to anyone. When I am tired, it’s Predictable all the way!”
- Tim Hill
“I got an iPad with the Predictable app from CAYA. The first time I used the app, it was new and a little bit scary in that respect. It has been hard but slowly I’m getting used to it. Kim has really encouraged me to use it. With Predictable I was able to participate in a Council meeting. To communicate with my kids (aged 6 and 11) it has been a real help. It has definitely helped me to communicate with all people.I wish that I didn’t need this but having you guys around is a blessing. That is something from the heart and I am really glad you people are around to help out.”
