hi hi mrs. Parker and I'm going to show

00:04

you today how to install a tool that can

00:08

help you read what is on a web page or a

00:11

Google Doc in front of you

00:13

I am looking right now at a book called

00:16

The Wizard of Oz and a while that'll

00:19

help to read it I know most the words

00:21

but it can help me to hear them out loud

00:24

so I'm going to switch to the Mukilteo

00:28

School District web page on this page

00:32

there is a button on the lower right

00:34

corner called the student portal when I

00:39

go there I see all of the student sites

00:42

and student links on the left there is a

00:46

link for tech tools to help students the

00:51

first tool on the list is this one

00:55

called Claro read it will help me read

00:58

things out loud I'm going to click on

01:02

the blue link over here to install the

01:04

Chrome extension for Claro read when I

01:10

click it it takes me to the Chrome Web

01:14

Store it tells me about clear arene and

01:17

it gives me a blue button I need to

01:21

click the button to add it to Chrome it

01:24

will ask me to make sure I want to

01:27

install this so I will click add

01:29

extension wait a little bit and it will

01:34

notify you in the upper right when

01:36

that's been installed there it goes

01:41

after it installs I will see the Claro

01:44

read toolbar it has a green play button

01:47

a red stop button and a settings cog

01:52

that will let me make some changes I'm

01:55

going to go back to my book refresh my

02:00

screen because that brings my Claro read

02:04

toolbar up and let's try it out if I

02:09

want to read here

02:11

[Music]

02:12

I can click and then push the green play

02:18

button when Dorothy stood in the doorway

02:21

and looked around she could see nothing

02:23

but the great gray prairie on every side

02:26

not a tree nor a house broke the broad

02:29

sweep of flat country that reached the

02:30

edge of the sky in all directions the

02:34

Sun had baked the ploughed land into a

02:35

gray mass with little cracks running

02:38

through it and I pushed the Red Square

02:41

to stop in the settings I can make some

02:46

changes to the voice I can change the

02:49

color it uses to mark where it's reading

02:52

and a couple of other things that you

02:55

might want to try the other options that

02:58

are here come with a premium account

03:00

that means you have to pay for them so

03:03

I'm just going to stick with the speech

03:05

which allows my computer to read to me

03:09

when I need a little extra help I hope

03:16

that helps you too
