This website offers BrowseAloud, a computer program that works with web browsers to allow users to listen to text that appears as it is read aloud. BrowseAloud can help persons with difficulties reading text online, literacy problems, learning disabilies, such as dyslexia, and limited English skills.
To use BrowseAloud, click the ear-shaped icon next to the search field in the upper-right corner of the website. A computer-generated voice will read aloud any selected text, highlighting the specific text as it is read. A toolbar allows users to control the software.
