Hi Jinyi, thanks for sharing your blog#2,
It’s great to hear about your favorable experience with Microsoft Azure Text-to-Speech in relation to Text-to-Speech (TTS) solutions. The ability to turn text into speech is a very important tool for a variety of reasons, including accessibility and education. A useful application is being able to listen to content while moving or driving. As you said, the availability of several voice styles can improve and intensify the experience. It’s true that TTS voices can range in quality, and some might still sound mechanical. Information retention can be strongly impacted by the tone and delivery of the speaker because everyone responds to voices differently. Personal preferences do play a part in this, which is a valid remark that emphasizes how crucial it is to provide customers the opportunity to select the voice that best suits them.
When making your infographic on Canva, you showed several good design principles. Consistency and Visual Hierarchy are crucial for making the content understandable and digestible. Small picture additions can also improve engagement and visual appeal. Canva’s template can be a good place to start, but it’s true that templates can restrict your design options, especially if you want to make big style modifications. Templates, however, can be an excellent tool for those who are new to design.
It’s vital to make infographics usable for students with vision difficulties. Your recommendations are excellent. Readability depends on using legible text in high-contrast colors. People who are visually challenged may find it easier to understand the major ideas with clear and organized layouts. Including TTS technologies is a great idea because it enables those who typically cannot read text to access information through audio. To ensure that the information is effectively communicated to all users, regardless of visual ability, accessible color selection, which takes into account typical color vision deficits, is a clever addition. This strategy fosters a more inclusive learning environment and is consistent with inclusive design principles.
