What does the ReachDeck Toolbar do?
Text-to-speech: makes online services and information more accessible with a choice of read aloud voices, different reading speeds and highlighters to enhance understanding.
Translation: translates web pages into 99 languages and can read aloud 40 of the most commonly used languages including Spanish and Chinese.
MP3 Creation: instantly converts online content into audio versions for easy offline listening.
Screen Masking: blocks online clutter – letting the user focus on the text they want to read.
Web Page Simplifier: removes distracting content creating a simple format for online information – ideal for those with dyslexia, cognitive or learning disabilities.
