Focus – Adult Literacy Training – readnowatx.org
Project #1 – Talk to Speech for Website
The organization relies heavily on its website to help folks understand how to read by listening to sentences. The problem is they use MP3’s stored in the cloud, which causes a considerable delay. That delay is exacerbated when a coach is trying to assist the learner during live tutorial sessions. The org is seeking a real-time text-to-speech option to add to the website.
Project #2 – Marketing and Awareness
The organization has a unique issue regarding marketing to their target market due to the inability for their targeted folks to be able to read any marketing literature. They are seeking a team of volunteers who might reach out to area providers / organizations who work with the community to contact to make them aware of the free offerings of Read Now.
If you’re interested in volunteering for either project, please contact Program Manager Shannon Mantrom at shannon.mantrom@leaptosuccessatx.org.
