Talking Tax Forms - New from the IRS

The IRS has introduced something really useful this year. If you have trouble reading forms, the new “Talking Forms” can really help you. This is really a blessing for people with disabilities who can really use additional  help.

Each line on the tax form has additional help embedded in it. Once you install a speech software, the speech synthesizer will read out these additional help text.

It requires a speech software to be installed on your computer. Per the IRS website, the forms have been tested using Windows 9 and JAWS.  Its also compatible with Dragon Naturally Speaking software (probably the most popular speech program out there today.

Once the basic software requirements are met, the software will read the contents of each line on the tax form.
