Why should we have text to speech on our blogs and websites?
Well it is simple we need to cater and be inclusive of those that may not be able to see or read as well. Just as the web has become visual with it's videos and photographs. It is now becoming audible with many tools freely available to make the written word become an audible word.
It is incredible how far we have come in such a short period of time i this electronic world. All to often we hear about the bad sides of the the Internet and often forget, like everthing else it has its good sides as well. Just like real life you have to choose what to trust and what to ignore.
I often think about my Mother and how the technology that we have today would have helped her. Mum's case was a bit different she needed speech to text as she had amongs other things atheritic in her hands which prevented her from writing or typing.
So I can see a huge benefit to making websites and blogs audible rather than just legible. Todays voice is Donald from the UK presented by https://notevibes.com/
