Soomo Learning

All our webtexts include a feature called Read to Me that lets you listen to your webtext out loud. (Note that this feature is not currently available on mobile.)

To enable the feature, click the Tools button in the upper right corner, then toggle the Read to Me switch. You can also adjust the settings for voice speed and text highlighting here at any time.

This screenshot of the webtext’s Tools menu shows the student’s name and links to My Progress, My Notes, and Read to Me. An icon next to Read to Me shows that the feature is toggled on. Below the Read to Me button are options for voice speed and text highlighting.

Once you’ve enabled Read to Me, the Listen button will appear at the top of each webtext page. This button will play the page from the beginning.

To start listening in the middle of the page, hover over any paragraph and click the Play icon that appears in the left margin.

To disable the Read to Me feature, simply toggle the button in the Tools Menu again.

We are committed to making content that is accessible to all students and instructors. If you need particular accommodations, please contact your school’s disability office. We’ll be happy to work with them to find an appropriate solution.
