Listen to this site being read aloud

To hear the web pages being read aloud please download the free software by clicking on the Browsealoud logo or www.browsealoud.com/downloads

Once you have installed the software the Browsealoud icon will appear in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.  As you move the cursor the text it is highlighted and spoken aloud.

You can customise your Browsealoud settings by right clicking on the icon.

View the Browsealoud Video Tour (external link) for further information.

The text-only mode will help when having the site read aloud, as can the "Skip navigation" button at the top of each page, which allows you to skip straight to the content of a page and avoid having the menus read out.
