How are the stories read aloud?

  • Actually, there are five or six ways to do so, depending on how you count Word documents. Here they are --

  1. By clicking on the "Translate" icon on the URL toolbar.

  2. By right clicking an any word of a story then left clicking on "Read aloud," from the drop-down menu. ​

  3. By selecting an individual story with your mouse then right clicking "Open selection in Immersive Reader" from the drop-down menu.

  4. For members with Microsoft Word, by copying a selection, then pasting it on a blank page.

  5. Also with Word, you can modify the look of a story according to your child's particular needs, and you can modify the story in additional ways by toggling the Immersive Reader. 

  6. By copying a story and pasting it onto the user box of Google Translate.

The many ways to access Multilinguals makes it possible for speakers of virtually every language to access them. Of the 109 world languages, roughly sixty percent of them can be read aloud by a TTS speaker.
