ReadSpeaker Strengthens its Partnership with CAST to Advance Inclusive Course Design

(Isstories Editorial):- Boston, Massachusetts May 14, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – ReadSpeaker, a leader in text-to-speech technology and voice-enhanced learning tools, has furthered its partnership with CAST, a nonprofit education research and development organization that champions inclusive and accessible learning practices and course design. The strengthened partnership will allow ReadSpeaker and CAST to meet the mutual goal of providing an educational environment that supports the individual needs of every learner.

ReadSpeaker, a champion of UDL for many years, aligns with UDL principles by providing visual and auditory alternatives, allowing students to engage with and absorb content in multiple ways, according to their needs.  ReadSpeaker offers easy-to-access and easy-to-use text to speech for any content, which can be used individually or seamlessly integrated into a learning platform or LMS. 

CAST’s Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, based in learning science, is an important element of their strategy to enhance course design to meet the needs of diverse learners. The UDL framework guides the design of instructional goals, assessments, methods, and materials to meet the individual needs of each student. ReadSpeaker is proud to be the voice of the CAST website, currently providing text to speech for the UDL Guidelines page and expanding to other pages in the coming months.
