After months of hard work, everyone at ReadSpeaker is proud to introduce the ReadSpeaker webReader:

Previously known as ReadSpeaker Enterprise Highlighting , we chose the name “ReadSpeaker webReader” for our premium product to reflect well its actual function : enabling website content to be spoken, or more accurately, websites to be read aloud using our text-to-speech technology .

ReadSpeaker webReader has all the same great features of ReadSpeaker Enterprise Highlighting, but with improvement.

Here’s a look at some of the features we’re most pleased with :

  • Listen button with expand button that opens as a toolbar with many new features.

  • Toolbar Provides web readers with speech, reading, and translation tools to help visitors fully understand your online content . Increase the likelihood of people returning to and recommending sites where they have had positive experiences .

  •    The simple display tool provides distraction-free reading . You can view web pages in plain text format .

  •      The Read on the Fly tool helps readers focus on your content, paragraph by paragraph . They can hear a single passage being read aloud by simply hovering over it with the mouse .

  •  The translation feature ensures that your content reaches a global audience.

  •    A word search tool helps readers learn while reading web pages . They can choose a word on a website and look up its definition in an online dictionary .
