How you get access depends on which tool you need.

Here is an overview before the steps:

The video shows the reading tools in use. Now let’s break down each step.

Step 1: Work Out Which Tool You Need

webReader reads a website. docReader reads documents linked on that website.

TextAid is the literacy tool for study, and speechMaker produces audio files.

Note that visitors to a speech enabled website never need an account at all.

Step 2: Get Access

Organisations request a quote, and a specialist replies within one бизнес день.

TextAid is the exception, with a self-service signup and a 14 day free trial.

Here is what the tools look like in practice:

✓ Контрольная точка: You have either a quote in progress or a TextAid account.

Step 3: Activate and Listen

On a live website, simply click the listen button or speaker icon to open the player.

The page is then read out loud from the top of the current page.

The pop-up control panel gives you play, pause, stop, volume and reading speed.

How to Use ReadSpeaker speechMaker

speechMaker lets you paste text, pick a голос, and download the finished audio.

speechMaker is the tool that produces audio files. It is not the listen button on a website.

Вот пошаговая инструкция по его использованию.

Step 1: Sign In to speechMaker

Open speechMaker in your browser and sign in with the credentials your administrator issued.

Step 2: Paste Your Text and Choose a Voice

Paste the text, set the reading language, then preview the speech before committing.

Team packages let an administrator assign a licence per user.

Исправить: Allow the script on that website, clear the cache, then reload the page.

Problem: Audio plays but nothing is highlighted

Причина: Highlighting was changed from the default settings, or the markup cannot be mapped.

Исправить: Open settings, restore highlighting, and pick a stronger text color.

Problem: A linked document will not read

Причина: The file type is unsupported, or the document link points somewhere docReader cannot reach.

Исправить: Check the format, then confirm the docReader button passes the full document URL.

Problem: Scanned images produce poor text

Причина: TextAid runs OCR on images, and accuracy on low quality scans is not guaranteed.

Исправить: Re-upload a higher resolution scan, or use a text based file where you can.
