The paper presents the design of an assistive reading tool that integrates read‐aloud technology with eye tracking to regulate the speed of reading and support struggling readers in following the text while listening to it. The paper describes the design rationale of this approach, following the theory of auditory–visual integration, in terms of an automatic self‐adaptable technique based on the reader's gaze that provides an individualized interaction experience. This tool has been assessed in a controlled experiment with 20 children (aged 8–10 years) with a diagnosis of dyslexia and a control group of 20 children with typical reading abilities. The results show that children with reading difficulties improved their comprehension scores by 24% measured on a standardized instrument for the assessment of reading comprehension and that children with more inaccurate reading (N = 9) tended to benefit more. The findings are discussed in terms of a better integration between audio and visual text information, paving the way to improve standard read‐aloud technology with gaze‐contingency and self‐adaptable techniques to personalize the reading experience.

注意力驱动的朗读技术可提高阅读障碍儿童的阅读理解能力

本文介绍了一种辅助阅读工具的设计，该工具将朗读技术与眼动跟踪相集成，以调节阅读速度，并支持苦苦挣扎的读者在听书的同时跟随其阅读。本文根据听觉-视觉整合的理论，根据基于读者注视的自动自适应技术，提供了个性化的交互体验，描述了该方法的设计原理。该工具已在一项对照实验中进行了评估，该实验由20名诊断为阅读障碍的儿童（8至10岁）和对照组的20名具有典型阅读能力的儿童组成。N = 9）倾向于受益更多。对这些发现进行了讨论，以更好地整合音频和视觉文本信息，从而为通过视线应变和自适应技术来个性化阅读体验的改进标准朗读技术铺平了道路。
