Read&Write for Google Docs: Free screen reader and study skills toolbar
I was so excited to learn today about a free tool called Read&Write for Google Docs. Read&Write for Google docs is a free extension that can be added to your Google Chrome browser. It
reads and highlights any text in a Google document, along with providing textual and visual definitions, highlight collection, and a nice feature to make a vocabulary list from highlighted words in the doc.
NOTE: It will ONLY work with documents that are in the Google docs format, but it is a fairly easy process to convert existing Word documents and PDFs into Google docs format. To learn more about that process, click here.
To see some good images and videos about Read&Write for Google docs, click here
The second video will how you how to install the toolbar, the first one will go over features in detail.
