Text to speech app in multiple languages to support diverse learners

This app allows you to have full text-to-speech capabilities with eBooks on your iPad. Any book in the public domain can be read and listened to in one app.

Though not free ($9.99), makes iPad completely accessible. Reads PDF, Word, eBooks, web articles, etc. Integrates with numerous content curation apps. 

This is an incredible app for students with special needs. It connects to the Bookshare.org database and does require a membership ID. However, students and organizations who qualify have access to a tremendous resource.  "From within Read2Go, you can browse, search, download, and read books directly from Bookshare using your Bookshare membership, as well as read DAISY books from other sources. The app gives you full control over visual choices for font size and color, background and highlighting color, and text-to-speech preferences. Read2Go features word-by-word highlighting for multi-modal reading."

Free "for a limited time", this app quickly lets you add speech bubbles and other shapes to photos. This could be a great tool for quickly creating help files, digital stories, or simple comics.
