Effect of Text-to-Speech Tools on the Reading Comprehension of Students with Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disease, and there is no way to overcome it. The application of auxiliary technology in teaching can reduce the influence of dyslexia on students, such as the wide application of the use of text-to-speech (TTS) technology, which can help students better understand written materials to a certain extent. However, as an auxiliary tool, its application may also bring some negative effects, such as students' distraction. Therefore, the effectiveness of text-to-speech tools application still needs to be further explored. In this study, through the exploration of common tools, theories and development principles of text-to-speech technology, the relevant studies were reviewed to explore whether text-to-speech tools can improve the reading comprehension of students with dyslexia. The results found that text-to-speech technology may help students' reading comprehension, but more research is needed to further explore the extent to which reading comprehension can be achieved.
