Using the Read Feature on Blocks in VEXcode GO – VEX Library

The Read feature for Blocks is a text-to-speech tool that reads aloud the contents of Blocks in VEXcode. This feature improves accessibility by providing an audio option for users to interact with and understand their code. It's particularly useful for those who prefer or require auditory information processing.
