We’re pleased to announce that we’ve added speech, reading and translation support to our website with the ReachDeck toolbar.
The ReachDeck Toolbar is part of our new accessibility software from Texthelp called ReachDeck. The Toolbar is one of three ways it’s helping us to improve digital accessibility and inclusion.
The ReachDeck Toolbar gives our website visitors a choice in how they understand our content. Helping them to interact with us independently. It’s especially useful to people who struggle with reading. Those who have a visual impairment. Or, people who prefer to read in their own language.

If you’d like to explore the Toolbar for yourself, visit our website. Look for the orange launchpad. One click on this button launches the ReachDeck Toolbar.
From here, you can choose the first icon on the toolbar, the pointed finger. Simply hover your mouse pointer over any text to hear it read aloud.
With the Toolbar, our website can be translated into over 100 languages. Visitors can have our content read out loud. You can convert text into an MP3 file so you can listen offline. You can also block or remove distractions, helping to focus on what your reading. And lots more!
