Learners can listen to equations using the ScreenShot Reader feature of the Google Chrome extension EquatIO. Select ScreenShot Reader and lasso the equation or equations to be read aloud. EquatIO will take a moment to scan and convert the equation. Once finished, the equation will automatically be read aloud. Any learner who can listen to the equation can now have the equation provided in an auditory format. The following video is a short demonstration of how to use the ScreenShot Reader function in EquatIO. At the time of this blog post’s publication, EquatIO is available to every learner in Loudoun County Public Schools.
