## Why

Why should you use text-to-speech (TTS) technology? Having material read out loud with the word highlighting will help your comprehension. Did you know that ReadSpeaker TTS technology combines two learning senses, reading and seeing? This is called "bimodal" learning and is a great way to help you retain information more effectively.

## Who

Studies show that using bimodal learning - using two senses - helps to retain more material than using one sense. Using TTS technology uses both sight and hearing. So using TTS technology should help you retain more material as you study. This is great for everyone!

## When

Try using TTS in classes with challenging material, such as when you are asked to read a large amount of text, such as a full chapter, or in a specific class, such as history, science, or English. You'll be amazed at how much better you can understand the content.

## How

The “how” is the easy part. Highlight some material in a lesson and click "Listen," or go to a quiz and click "Listen." After just a couple of minutes, you will be confident enough to begin exploring the tool.
