PDFaloud licence deal for Scottish schools
Although you can have your ’speech enabled’ SQA Adapted Digital Paper read out by Browsealoud, PDFaloud is better because it can read any PDF - such as prelims, NABs, or other materials you have created yourself in school. Unfortunately, the publishers of PDFaloud (TextHelp Systems) stopped selling PDFaloud last summer and the only way to buy it was to buy Read and Write Gold, which is quite pricy (£320 for a single user; £1795 for a secondary site licence).
After some prodding by me, the good news is that TextHelp and Learning and Teaching Scotland have neotiated a licence scheme for PDFaloud for Scottish schools and I hope that you’ll be able to buy PDFaloud from LTS in a couple of weeks. Cost I’m told will be £275 for a site licence, which is excellent value. When it’s available I’ll let you know.
