Making Your Computer Talk

Many people who have a signficant vision or literacy difficulty would benefit from having their computer speak back what they are typing and other text on the screen.

People can listen to the Cestria website with a free utility called BrowseAloud.

BrowseAloud helps any website visitor who requires online reading support. This includes those with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, mild visual impairments and those with English as a second language.

BrowseAloud makes websites accessible to those who require online reading support, which is 20% of the UK population. It works by reading web pages aloud in a human-sounding voice. The user simply hovers their mouse pointer over the text to hear it read aloud.

To download BrowseAloud please visit www.browsealoud.com.
