Text-to-Speech
Built-in text-to-speech support for students who read better by listening, or who benefit from hearing text alongside seeing it.
Accessibility & Special Education
Built-in accommodations for every kind of learner
Every student deserves AI that works for how they learn. HeyOtto's accessibility features are part of the core product, adjustable by teacher or by student.
Text-to-speechDyslexia-friendly formattingADHD & autism support
Built in, not bolted on
One place for the range of learners in your room
HeyOtto builds accessibility accommodations directly into the product, so a teacher managing a class with a range of IEP, 504, ELL, and gifted needs has one place to set them rather than stitching together multiple tools.
The accommodations
Support that ships with the product
Dyslexia-Friendly Formatting
Formatting options — spacing, font, and layout — designed for easier reading and comprehension, available without a separate plug-in.
ADHD Focus Tools
Otto breaks tasks into smaller steps and keeps students focused and on track, rather than presenting a wall of instructions at once.
Autism Support
A clear, literal communication mode with predictable, structured responses — reducing the ambiguity that can make general-purpose AI responses hard to parse.
Gifted Enrichment
Advanced challenge problems and deeper exploration for students who need more than grade-level material, built in for the teacher to assign directly.
Scaffolded Learning
Otto doesn’t just give answers — it guides students to solutions at their own pace, which matters as much for a student working through an accommodation as it does for academic integrity generally.
Multilingual & ELL
Support that meets students at their reading level
Otto also supports English Language Learners with multilingual assistance, matching responses to a student's current reading level rather than a flat grade-level default.
IEP & 504
How this fits into an IEP or 504
Teachers can adjust which accommodations are active so Otto's settings can reflect what's already documented in a student's IEP or 504 plan — rather than requiring a separate, disconnected setup process.
Because Otto retains context across sessions, teachers get a clearer picture of how a student is responding to an accommodation over weeks — useful context alongside your existing review conversations.
Accessibility features use the same student-data protections as the rest of HeyOtto. See our Security & Trust Center.
