The Importance
of Speech-Enabling your Website
Raj Kher, Business Development Manager, BrowseAloud
Websites are now designed with accessibility as an essential characteristic to ensure that every part of the community can access the online content provided. This is a legal requirement under the Disability Discrimination Act and the Disability Equality Duty.
In addition to legal compliance, an accessible website can reach out to and include those who may otherwise be excluded from the digital society. These citizens can be considered as the "Print Disabled Community" who can be helped by incorporating BrowseAloud, the world leading speech-enabling solution, onto an accessible website.
BrowseAloud reads websites aloud and addresses the needs of those with:
* Mild Visual Impairments
* Learning Disabilities
* Literacy Difficulties such as Dyslexia
* English as Second Language
