Read with your ears – Tortalk
Obligatory course literature can be adapted to talking books but there is also a lot of other material available through the library that can be useful for students, for example a large amount of articles and e-books from our databases. They can be read out to you by a speech synthesizer, Tortalk. To read articles protected from copying, use the ocr-button in Tortalk. It opens a window that can convert all text within the window frame into speech. Works with text formats (copy protected PDF files and e-books can be read). All students and employees at KTH have access to Tortalk text to speech. Tortalk is installed in all student computer labs. You can download it to your private computer or smartphone from KTH Software Download, TorTalk .
