ReadSpeaker webReader Step-by-step Implementation Instructions*

Please note that the following example implementation instructions are exactly the same when implementing ReadSpeaker webReader on a website and a mobile website.

Requirements

  • Add JavaScript
  • Add Button code
  • Define the reading area
  • Add the page on how to use the listen function (recommended)

Add JavaScript

Place the script inside the head-section, right before the closing , on the pages or webpage template where the application is to be implemented. Please note that if you are using jQuery we recommend that our script is added after jQuery in the HTML code.

Add Button Code

To implement the button, the button code is to be inserted inside the element of the pages where the application is to be implemented. Our recommendation are that the button is placed near the text that is to be read.

Define the Reading Area

You choose what section of your site you would like to have read and highlighted by giving that element the same ID as the value of the parameter &readid in the query string of the ReadSpeaker call.

Add the Page About the Listen Function

Our recommendation is that you add a page to your website and mobile website called something like, “About the Listen Function: ReadSpeaker webReader.” The purpose of this page is to let your visitors know what webReader is, how to activate it, what it can do, and where to find instructions for use.

Test the Implementation

Try out your implementation by following these two steps:

  1. Click on the added button and make sure that the service reads the correct content with synchronized highlighting.
  2. Select some text and and click on the listen button while the selection is still active and make sure that the service reads and highlights the selected text.

*These are the standard implementation instructions.
