Description

Visit any website using this extension and benefit from innovative speech, reading and translation support from Browsealoud.

Ideal for libraries or anywhere with public access computers.

Browsealoud helps you to navigate and understand digital content and interact online with confidence.

It’s ideal for those with low digital skills, low literacy, learning, cognitive or print disabilities, visual impairments and those with language challenges.

Easily deployed across a single computer or a whole group at the one time.

Who it helps and how:

• Text to Speech: reads text on a web page out loud, highlights each word as it’s read. Ideal for those with vision, literacy and language challenges.

• Translation: offers translation in 99 languages, 40 of which are spoken. This is a great help for those facing language barriers online.

• MP3 Generation: converts web content to an audio file for easy listening offline. Perfect for people with time pressures or long journeys with no internet.

• Screen Mask: greys out all but a small area across the screen. This minimises distractions for those with attention or focus challenges.

• Text Magnification: magnifies the text as it’s being read aloud - ideal for users with mild visual impairments.
