Greetings:
We are pleased to announce the introduction of our new online text reading service: Browsealoud. Right now it is enabled for our Medical Glossary and our Factsheet and Guide Page. When you click on the Browsealoud logo, a control panel will open up on the right side of your browser which you can use to stop, start or pause the reader. All you need to do is place your mouse at the beginning of the text you wish to be read to you and click. The text will be highlighted and the reader will start. That's it. We are in the process of checking all the links and fact sheets so if you come across a problem please let us know.
Cheers,
Alan
