Use a reading program online
Reading programs are important for people with disabilities in order to be able to move around online just like everyone else. In addition, the reading functions are particularly effective in the mobile area.
The topic of accessibility in Internet is taken increasingly seriously. Access to websites should of course also be granted to disabled users. Tools and programs such as screen magnifiers or reading services help visually impaired people.
Online tools that read texts aloud
- One service available everywhere is that Google Translator. You don't even have to be a registered Google user to use it. With the Google Translator texts and websites can be translated from and into different languages.
- A reading function is integrated. Recognizable by the small gray loudspeaker in the lower area of the text field. If you activate this button, the text copied into the text field is read out. For this to work well, the source language should be set to German.
- However, the automatic reading of entire websites is not possible with the Google Translator.
Program for webmasters
- Readspeaker is innovative software that operators can integrate into their private websites free of charge. Readspeaker provides the so-called Web reader available as a plug-in for different content management systems such as Wordpress, Joomla and Co.
- This program is also increasingly being used by commercial and established providers, including heise.de in Germany.
- If you visit the website of such a provider, you will find the Readspeaker button on every page, which offers the option of having the entire text on the page read out to you.
