Northern Ireland-based assistive technology firm, Texthelp Systems Ltd, is pleased to announce the launch of BrowseAloud 6; the latest version of its text-to-speech software.

BrowseAloud is designed to help website owners reach out to website visitors who require online reading support, which is 20% of the UK population.

David Robinson, BrowseAloud General Manager says:

"BrowseAloud has undergone some exciting new changes since its last release. For example, the application now appears on-screen as a floating toolbar where the user can easily access all the key features of BrowseAloud."

New features have been added such as a Translation Tool; allowing for single word translations in English, French, Spanish, German or Italian, and a Screen Masking facility; allowing users to shield or mask information on the screen to help with their concentration.

The reading support provided by BrowseAloud goes beyond simply reading online content out loud. BrowseAloud includes features such as dual-colour highlighting, text magnification, a dictionary, a translator, an MP3 maker and a screen masking tool. All features and options are accessed from an easy to use, floating toolbar.
