Read aloud

On every page of the website, there is a 'Read aloud' button in the upper right corner. When you click this, the reading of the text on the page begins. The text being read aloud is shaded and you can follow the text as it is read aloud, as each word read is given a different color. A read-aloud feature is not just for the blind and/or visually impaired. They often have facilities for this themselves. The reading aloud function is especially for people who have great difficulty with reading and writing, people with dyslexia, a concentration disorder or (mild) mental disability.
