Immersive Reader includes an enhanced Read Aloud with clear enunciation. A reader can enable syllable identification and allow parts of speech to be color coded (ex: nouns are purple, verbs are blue, adjectives are green). Immersive Reader is a collection of many tools and functionalities that improves reading/language fluency and comprehension by allowing a reader to adjust page color, column width, line focus, and text spacing. This tool is available in Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. This function allows a writer to sit back and let their ideas flow more freely. Also, if you’ve ever struggled to write or type as fast as your mind was moving, or if speaking your ideas sometimes feels easier than writing them down, try Dictate. Dictate can also translate what you say to over 60 languages.ĭictate aids physically impaired individuals who cannot type or struggle to type and auditory learners. This speech-to-text technology can be used, as the name suggests, to dictate what you say into text on the screen. Read Aloud is available in Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Microsoft Lens. This function also aids a writer’s revision process by hearing their own words in another’s voice. It also improves experiences for those with tired eyes, auditory learners, and anyone who just wants to listen rather than read for a while. Read Aloud enhances reading comprehension and allows readers to focus on the text by ingesting it in more than one way (through the eyes and/or the ears as opposed to just the eyes). This function aids visually impaired individuals and those with reading-based learning disabilities. You may also choose to have the narrator read selected portions of a text. Listen to whole documents, emails, or presentations as it is read by a narrator. Here are seven accessibility and inclusivity tools and the Microsoft 365 applications they can be used within.
Documents, presentations, meetings, and emails can be better-more accessible, inclusive, easier to create, intuitive, interactive, successful. Microsoft 365 products are designed with accessible and inclusive features that work with any individual to better create, interact with, understand, and retain content. Fortunately, that is the direction culture is shifting. Accessibility should be the standard, not the exception.
