ReadSpeaker
ReadSpeaker makes it possible for our visitors to listen to text on the website, quickly and easily. It makes our website fully accessible for people who find reading difficult like dyslexics, people with impaired vision, children and people with English as a second language.
How does it work?
The user activates ReadSpeaker by clicking the "readspeaker" button at the top of every webpage of this website. The ReadSpeaker software will convert text into spoken words, which is then transferred to the user's computer in MP3 or WAV format. The Flashplayer on the computer is activated and starts reading the selected text.
Users can decide what content should be read by "highlighting" text. Also, the speed with which text is read can be adjusted via the "settings" menu.
To use ReadSpeaker, the following items need to be installed on your computer:
- Adobe Flash Player
- Web browser, soundcard and speakers / headphones
ReadSpeaker works on most computers and internet browsers, without the need for additional text-to-speech software.
Flash-pages and Acrobat-PDF documents are not supported by ReadSpeaker.

About RSS
The Internet contains a wealth of information on many different websites. As an Internet user you probably visit several specific websites that regularly publish information. You often visit these websites to discover that no new information has been added. This becomes a problem if you want to monitor a large number of sites. It can be inconvenient and time-consuming.
RSS makes finding new information much easier and saves you valuable search time. Using an RSS reader, you can quickly and easily read news on various websites without actually having to visit them. More and more websites are offering RSS feed services.
To read an RSS feed you will need an RSS reader, usually available free of charge on the Internet. The most commonly used RSS readers are:
- Google Reader (Web-based; free)
- Bloglines (Web-based; free)
- Feedreader (Windows; free)
- Abilon (Windows; free)
- FeedDemon (Windows; paid)
- RSSReader (Windows; free)
- Sharpreader (Windows; free)
- AmphetaDesk (Linux, Mac, Windows; free)
- NewzCrawler (Windows; paid)
- Radio UserLand (Mac, Windows; paid)
The reader presents the new items quickly and conveniently and regularly checks whether new items have been added to the websites you specify. As soon as a new item appears, the reader will notify you, so you can see at a glance whether there is anything new for you.
