Texthelp Release Browsealoud For Mac

23rd June 2006

Texthelp Systems Ltd has launched a Mac version of their popular text-to-speech software product, Browsealoud.

Browsealoud speech enables websites, reading online content aloud for those with literacy difficulties, dyslexia, for whom English is a second language and those with mild visual impairments. Browsealoud has become the service of choice throughout the UK and Ireland for reading aloud website content.

Mac users can now download the application and listen to websites being read aloud to them. The website content is highlighted as it is spoken to aid comprehension. Mac users will also have the ability to customise their individual settings by altering the pitch, speed and volume of their chosen voice.
