Text-to-speech in Rise 360
I've done extensive testing with learners who have visual impairments. All of them used JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, Dragon Speaking Naturally or another app. None of them ever requested that there was a built in TTS. Screen readers provide much more than just TTS.
I'm not sure about learners who first language is not English. I find it easier to read in another language when I'm learning it because then I can go at my speed and look up words that I don't know.
It all depends, right. not every case is the same. Our company has received a lot of requests for this feature because they complete their courses on a work computer that does not have assistive capabilities included. Our employee base is quite varied and not everyone has their own devices to complete this on, so this feature would help greatly.
