Making the Spot On web site talk


Reading large amounts of text on screen can be difficult for those with learning difficulties and visual impairments.

 

Spot On uses Browsealoud to make our website talk.

Browsealoud is very easy to use

 


Browsealoud is a computer program that reads web pages aloud for people who find it difficult to read online.

As you move your mouse pointer over the words that you want read to you, Browsealoud will read and speak what is written.

Browsealoud is free for anyone to use.

Browsealoud is FREE to download.
