Help with hearing the website

ReadSpeaker ProReader is a web service that reads the text content on a web site out aloud.

On the Settings page you can choose how you want it to work.

You can have the text that is read displayed in the window, select text size, colour and make other changes on how the text is shown.

It is also possible to make ProReader highlight the text as it reads on a word by word basis, sentence by sentence basis or both. Support for JavaScript must be switched on for the highlighting function to work.

Using proReader

ProReader will load automatically when you click on Listen to this site in the right hand menu and will start to read the webpage you are on.

You can control the player with your keyboard using the space bar to toggle between pause/play and the Escape-key to stop.

You can stop and pause ProReader at any time, as well as later the volume an, if you prefer, you can click on the 'save mp3' option to save an mp3 version of the page to your computer to listen to when you like.

ProReader Controls

If you would like to alter the ProReader settings, simply click on the 'Settings' tab and change the speed, highlighting, font size or text appearance to suit your own preference.
