Browsealoud is a free tool that
speech enables website content. It offers a practical
website access service to people with reading difficulties
and those who find it easier to listen to, rather than
read the content of our website.
It assists in the navigation of
our website for the following sections of the population:
- Those with low literacy
and reading skills
- Those where English is
not the first language
- Dyslexic people
- Those with mild visual
impairment
You can download the
Browsealoud software onto your computer, which will then
allow you to hear the text on our site in spoken word.
This software is free to use
and requires no registration.
Once you have downloaded it
you simply go to any site that is speech enabled with
Browsealoud and use your mouse or keyboard to select the
text that you want to be read.
It will read the text to you
one sentence at a time.
You can also set the type of
voice, its pitch, speed and volume to your own
preferences.
