BrowseAloud

Please take a few moments to give us feedback on the BrowseAloud service.

What is BrowseAloud?
BrowseAloud is a program that reads out the words on a website, highlighting the words as they are being read aloud. BrowseAloud is a tool for people who may find it difficult to read text online or for those who may have literacy problems and/or learning disabilities such as dyslexia. It is also a beneficial tool for those for whom English is a second language and may have trouble reading. BrowseAloud allows you to "listen" to the contents of the web page you are viewing.
How does BrowseAloud work?
As you move the cursor over words on a web page they are spoken out loud. If preferred, the continuous option may be selected which allows the entire contents of the web page to be read without having to mouse over every sentence. BrowseAloud can also be turned on/off by a simple click of the Ctrl key. The voice, pitch, and speed of the BrowseAloud reader are also customizable by the end-user to suit their needs. BrowseAloud is free to download and use.
How do I get a BrowseAloud reader?
Click on the speaker icon in the navigation bar of this website to launch the BrowseAloud Plus toolbar. To use BrowseAloud's fully-featured version, which includes a dictionary, a translator, an MP3 maker, a text magnifier and reads secure web pages and PDFs, visit the BrowseAloud website to download a small application, free of charge, at www.browsealoud.com/getbrowsealoud.
How do I know if a House website offers BrowseAloud?
BrowseAloud resides in the system tray when it is enabled. The icon resembles a bullseye and will have a checkmark when a website is speech enabled. By default, House websites are enabled with BrowseAloud. Generally, House sites making use of this program will have one of the following icons displayed on their site:
