Auditory Highlighting is an exciting new concept designed by Premier to assist students in distinguishing the most relevant parts of a document through audible changes in the way it is read. A student using a Premier learning tool to read a document can hear highlighted portions of text read aloud in a different voice. It breaks up the monotony of Text-to-Speech engine pauses by switching to a different voice chosen by the user. The pausing and switching of the voices provides enough variation to jar the brain awake again. The audible change in reading serves as a stimulus to re-engage the reader’s attention.
Auditory Highlighting works in conjunction with the Premier award-winning Language Model Information Summary “LMIS” technology and combines it with an information extraction engine. Premier LMIS Summarization technology works using weighted language principles and assumes that all words vary in importance and not every paragraph contains information that should be included in a summary. The LMIS technology is used to read and identify the most important parts of a document.
Auditory Highlighting is now available on Scan and Read Pro, E-Text Reader and Talking Word Processor.
All Premier products have, at the core of their design, a belief that Universal Design for Learning is an attainable goal. As a bilingual country with two official languages, the elements of Universal Design for Learning should reflect our lingual diversity; thus, Premier Literacy continues to incorporate French into Premier products. Most Premier products have a built-in translation feature; and, in addition, Premier currently offers three products that have a selectable French or English interface. The French Talking Dictionary, E-Text Reader, and Universal Reader all provide either a French or an English interface.
Premier continues to expand the inclusion of French into selected learning technologies with such features as French spell-check, auto-summarization in French, word prediction in French as well as several French training videos. The French Talking Dictionary, the flagship of the Premier French products, is the first product of its kind.
