Help
It’s no secret that I love technology that speaks. For me, audible access is the last word. It is, after all, the problem-solver in the evolution of accessible everyday things. A few excellent examples: Talking ATMs, the iPod Nano with spoken menus and the Shuffle’s voice over. I applaud these big moves, and I anxiously await more to come.
At the top of my (soon to be published) Wish List is audible access on the web. Yes, that’s correct. I want websites to talk to me (and you). Why not? Wouldn’t you like the option to listen while the webpage is read to you?
I know how good this could be, because I get a taste of it now using ZoomText speech. Unfortunately, it is not consistent. Way too often, I will ask ZoomText to read a webpage, and it refuses, without explanation.
My wish is, now, your command. Thanks to Odiogo you can experience the beauty of speech, right on this blog. Just click the “Listen Now” button at the top and enjoy!
I’ll say it again--vision- friendly technology is good for everyone!
Thanks for listening --- now talk to me. Do you like this web option as much as I do?

That's pretty cool. Can you adjust the speech rate or does it have only one default rate?
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous, I don't believe there were choices, when we added this, but we liked the default, just fine. May be updated…take a look at: http://www.odiogo.com/
