Hi,<br>
BrowseAloud has been designed for the many people with dyslexia and
related conditions, who are often forgotten when accessibility is
considered.<br>
While it is installed on individual sites it makes a change for
individual disabled people not to have to bear a lot of the cost of
accessibility by having to provide their own assistive technology, so in
a way it fits with the 'social model' of disability by putting the whole
responsibility on the site owner to provide access. <br>
&nbsp;It is not suitable, and is not meant to be suitable for blind
users.<br>
Cheers<br>
Robyn<br><br>
