BrowseAloud information


BrowseAloud is assistive technology software that adds text-to-speech functionality to websites.[1] It is designed by Texthelp Ltd, a Northern Ireland–based company that specialises in the design of assistive technology. BrowseAloud adds speech and reading support tools to online content to extend the reach of websites for people who require reading support. The JavaScript-based[2] tool adds a floating toolbar to the web page being visited. The service is paid for by the website's publisher; and is free to website visitors.[3]

BrowseAloud has been used in the United Kingdom by local councils,[4] and parts of the National Health Service.[5] The software won a New Statesman New Media Award in 2004.[6]
