Make your documents accessible to more people by letting your users view and listen to them on any device with no plugins required.
Your user will see a ReadSpeaker Listen icon next to your online document link.
Clicking the Listen icon opens ReadSpeaker docReader in a new window or tab with your document ready to be listened to. Or you may embed docReader inside your webpage as shown below.
A toolbar at the top of the page enables the user to browse, read, and listen to the document.
When your user clicks the Listen button in the toolbar, the full page will be read section by section in the order defined in the document.
Hovering over a section of text enables users to click to listen to that section.
Your users can also explicitly select a section of text to be read. They can also control the layout mode, reading speed, and both text appearance and highlighting.
ReadSpeaker docReader satisfies all Level A and Level AA success criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 specification. See our ReadSpeaker docReader 4.11 WCAG 2.2 AA Compliance Statement.
