Browsealoud features include:

  • text-to-speech: click on or select any text to hear it read aloud
  • translation: written and spoken translations in multiple languages
  • text magnification: enlarges text and reads it out loud
  • mp3 generation: converts selected text into an MP3 audio file
  • screen mask: blocks distractions on screen with a tinted mask
  • web page simplifer: removes clutter from the screen, displaying only the main text

Happy To Translate
Happy to Translate (HTT) provides tools, support, and guidance to our organisation, to deliver a quality service to those who face language barriers. Having a language barrier can make tasks, such as making enquiries or completing forms, a daunting experience and increases the risk of the most vulnerable from accessing the support needed to improve their lives.

Despite language differences, employees can engage confidently with clients whose first language is other than English, through using HTT’s multilingual tools.
