Having the website read out aloud

You will first have to download the free software onto your own computer. Once you have done that, when you move the cursor over the text, it is converted to speech. The spoken text is also marked, word for word, with a different colour. The text can also be enlarged and read simultaneously in a separate window.

You only have to download BrowseAloud once, after which it works for all sites that offer this text-to-speech converting tool. After downloading, you may want to alter your personal settings for the speech-converting tool by clicking on the BrowseAloud-icon (lower right-hand corner of your computer screen).

The website of BrowseAloud provides a more detailed explanation about how the speech-converting tool works.
