Makes sense. I worded that wrong, I meant that I've only seen ReadSpeaker mentioned along with customers using D2L. Like the two go hand-in-hand :)

    Oh, I would guess other institutions are using Readspeaker... it’s a big accessibility tool because it reads out webpages, PDFs, and other docs. D2L has (I believe) an LTI integration with Readspeaker but I would be very surprised if Blackboard and Moodle (the other major LMSs used in education in Canada) don’t have something as well. Accessibility is such a big part/ issue now for educational institutions and it is so much more accessible than JAWS because it is web-based and doesn’t require any client side software. Readspeaker is an add on product though, independent from the LMS D2L.

    Thank you so much again for your help navigating this issue. I’ll update the community post if I find out any more or if what I’ve written is incorrect (don’t want to contribute to fake news :)).
