Universally Designed Guacamole (instructional video)

text to speech

I have been using kurzweil, an e-text alternative to traditional reading. While it improves my comprehension of the material, I fear that I am growing dependent on it. As beautiful as the concept of UDL is, the reality is that there are not text-to-speech options in the work place and everyday life. I want to make sure, therefore, that I am enhancing my literacy skills. Do etexts like UDL editions or kurzweil improve reading in the long run or do they just facilitate it in the meantime?
