Suggestions for software to help dyslexia

Hello! Posting in chat for traffic.

I have a member of my team that is dyslexic and he has admitted that he’s been struggling to compose long paragraphs.

id like to make his life easier by getting a text to audio software. We’ve tried the word audio but that doesn’t work very well for him as the voice is stilted and it doesn’t give him the ability to understand where commas, full stops etc should go.

ideally a piece of software that helps with the grammar and punctuation would be ideal, as well as the ability to listen back to it to make sure it makes sense.

does anyone have any recommendations please?

I'm interested in this too if anyone has suggestions. I have a child looking for software to help with reading for exams.

Dictate in Word is very good day to day speech to text then running through Grammarly to check spelling punctuation and grammar. Read Aloud in Word lets you choose different voices but is quite robotic (but so is all text to speech)

@BridgetJonesBigPants It is up to the school to decide on and provide the text to speech software for exams. Most use Claroread or Read Write Text Help
