ReadSpeaker Launches New Version of its Enterprise Highlighting Solution With Significant Usability and Accessibility Enhancements
UPPSALA, Sweden, November 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
ReadSpeaker Enterprise Highlighting enables website owners to easily convert online
text into speech for a better and more accessible user experience.
ReadSpeaker announced today the launch of the Enterprise Highlighting 2.5 with major
advancements and new functionalities. With the new version, website owners can provide
their users with a fully customizable and accessible online text-to-speech product.
New customization options enable customers to better match the style of the
ReadSpeaker audio player to the design of their website. The new player has full support
for HTML5 audio, which means that more features will be available on more devices and
browsers without the need for Flash to be supported on the user's device.
In terms of accessibility, the audio player is completely keyboard accessible and
works well with both screen readers and magnifying tools. The service adapts to the audio
capabilities of the user's browser and uses the best available playback engine.
ReadSpeaker Enterprise Highlighting 2.5 provides end-users with new features, such as
automatic scrolling; the page scrolls as the text is read and highlighted so that longer
pages can be easier to follow. Highlighting options of the words and/or sentences being
read now allow the user to choose the colors used. The text selection functionality
enables users to only listen to certain parts of the page with the new audio player
appearing near the selected text.
"The new version of ReadSpeaker Enterprise Highlighting provides an even more
user-friendly, accessible, and customizable experience for both our customers and their
users. This has been a major focus for this release along with more flexibility, better
quality, and an improved graphical design," says Niclas Bergstrom, CEO, ReadSpeaker.
