Office 365’s Inclusive Features

Windows 10 Laptop/Desktop

Immersive Reader for OneNote – Reads text out loud
- Text will be grabbed from images, if available
- User can speed up or slow down the reader
- Words are highlighted as they are read
- User can click anywhere in the document to begin reading
- Text can be read in several different languages
- User can increase text size and line spacing as needed
- The background/foreground colors can be changed as needed
- Parts of speech and word syllables can be highlighted in the document
- User can change to a sans serif font
Dictate – User records spoken word as a text document in OneNote.

iOS Mobile

Immersive Reader for Office Lens. Captured documents are read out loud
- Capture a document (take a picture of it through the app)

OneDrive
