No, I haven’t used the Text to Speech tools before, it was my first time using them. I did hear about it a couple of times but didn’t use it till now.

In terms of “The World’s Worst PowerPoint Presentations,” these presentations often have multiple similar faults and do not adhere to different design principles:
They frequently have too much text in their presentations, which violates the UDL concept of having alternative modes of representation. Such presentations are inaccessible to persons who have trouble reading or comprehending text.

When multimedia components are employed, they are frequently executed incorrectly. This squanders the chance to accommodate different learning styles and gives numerous modes of involvement and representation.

Hello Siddharthbhasin, nice to meet you. My name is Zhongbao Ji, but I prefer people call me Tim. To be honest, I have some color blindness, so I often choose to listen to some text. I’m glad you mentioned text-to-speech tools. I’ve used several different tools, but honestly, in my experience, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is the best, in Google Cloud Text-to-Speech , you can easily convert text into other languages if you need to, and you can also choose your favorite voices, and the voices can even have emotions and tones. Inclusive design has greatly alleviated my phobia when faced with multiple colors, so I agree with your mention of Mayer’s multimedia principles which encourage the use of multimedia components that are compatible with the spoken content and lessen the cognitive burden.
