BrowseAloudWhat is BrowseAloud?

BrowseAloud is free software that reads web pages out loud. It can help anyone who has difficulty reading on-line, including people with mild visual impairments, low literacy, English as a second language, or learning disabilities, such as dyslexia.

How does it work?

Once a user has downloaded BrowseAloud, the BrowseAloud icon will appear in the system tray, which is usually found in the bottom right corner of the screen.
By placing the cursor over the text, the relevant sentence will be read aloud and simultaneously highlighted. The user can choose to listen to selected sections of text or the entire page from where your cursor is pointed.
 
To customize your BrowseAloud settings, right click on the icon once it is installed on your computer and choose 'Open BrowseAloud settings' from the menu.
