You can listen to this website using the free Dixerit Plus and WebRead services. These services are easy to use, free, and help people who find it hard to read, such as those with dyslexia or learning difficulties, those for whom English is not their first language, and those with mild visual impairments. They are not designed to replace screen reader software such as JAWS.
This page contains detailed instructions for using Dixerit Plus and WebRead, but if you have any problems using the services please contact us and we will be happy to help.
Dixerit Plus is available to listen to most pages on this site. On any page where you see the "Listen to our website" icon (shown below), simply click the icon and the dixero controls will be displayed.
You can use Dixerit Plus to:
Listen to sections of text by highlighting it and clicking the "Read Text" icon.
Listen to any paragraph by hovering your mouse pointer over it, and clicking the paragraph icon that appears after a short time.
Listen to all of the links on the page by clicking the "Read Links" icon. Each link is read out with a number - to follow a particular link just enter the link's number in the "Goto" box and click "Go".
After listening to a section of text you can save the speech file by clicking on the "Save" icon. You will be prompted for a filename and location to save the file, using your computer's standard file window.
You can stop Dixerit Plus from reading by clicking the "Stop" icon.
You can change the settings for Dixerit Plus by clicking the "Settings" icon.
