While text to speech has benefits for all users, some of the specific groups that see
a better user experience are:

amounts of text due to some learning disabilities. Offering them an easier option is
a great way to engage them.
People who have literacy difficulties – Some people have basic literary levels.
They often get frustrated trying to browse the internet because so much of it is in
text form. By offering them an option to hear the text instead of reading it, they can
get valuable information in a way that is more comfortable for them.
People who speak the language but do not read it – Having a speech option for
the foreign born will open up your audience to this under-served population.Text to
speech technology allows them to take in the information in a way they are more
comfortable with, making your content easier to comprehend and retain.
People who multitask – A busy life often means that people do not have time to
do all the reading they would like to do online. Having a chance to listen to the
content instead of reading it allows them to do something else at the same
time. With the prevalence of smartphones and tablets, it also provides an option for
content consumption on the go, taking content away from the computer screen and
into any environment that’s convenient for the consumer.
People with visual impairment – Text to speech can be a very useful tool for the
mild or moderately visually impaired. Even for people with the visual capability to
read, the process can often cause too much strain to be of any use or enjoyment.
With text to speech, people with visual impairment can take in all manner of
content in comfort instead of strain.
