Making Websites Talk


Firstly, let me give you this link http://www.browsealoud.com/page.asp?pg_id=80002
I was browsing the National Autistic UK website yesterday http://www.nas.org.uk/browsealoud, which is now speech-enabled, meaning it can be read aloud to you using the program Browsealoud (download for free).
DATA: Browsealoud makes using the Internet easier for people who have:
. Low literacy and reading skills
. English as a second language
. Dyslexia
. Mild visual impairments
Unfortunately not all websites are speech-enabled, however I was able to try the program on the http://www.bbc.co.uk/, it is great fun, you can change the voice and the speed. Blogger.com is speech-enabled.
