Subject: [WEB4LIB] plug-ins that will assist dyslexics when reading web pages

Hi,

I am looking for a browser plug-in that will highlight each word on a web page as it vocalizes the word. It will use a speech synthesizer to do this. Does such a plug-in exist? We have a library user who is particularly interested in reading newspapers in this way. He is dyslexic.

I would appreciate any advice

Regards
John
