Texthelp, the company that brings us Read&Write Gold, has developed a Google Chrome app,
Read&Write, with some useful accessibility features for Google Docs. I've added it, and it is available whenever I use Google Docs. Words are highlighted during text to speech and there are settings for different voices, speed and continuous reading options.
As you can see in the first image, it has a picture/symbol dictionary too. Other neat AT features include a built in word dictionary with speech feedback, ability to collect highlighted sections, a vocabulary tool and the fact finder feature that automatically does a Google search of the selected word.
This app is free and currently only works with Google Docs, although they have another web app for Read&Write Gold license holders with full web accessibility.
