Talklets: Enabling speech from a website

There is a unique service by Textic Ltd to help people with reading difficulties called Talklets. It can be seen and heard on the BDA, PATOSS, Dyslexia A2Z, The Dyslexia Association and other websites.

Talklets provides a service where a suitably enabled website will be "spoken" to the reader on their machine. No special software needs to be installed on the client machine, as long as a the machine can play a common sound file type called an MP3 then you are ready to go. The latest Talklets Plus also has spoken translations with captioning on the fly. The user can choose from a variety of languages and still see the English website.

Talklets for websites
Adding Textic Talklets to your website is very easy. Talklets is provided as true 'Software as a Service', so no integration with your website code or hardware is required beyond the addition of some brief lines of script to each page to be speech enabled.

The deployment of Talklets can be a toolbar at the bottom of the web page or a toolbox embedded on each page.

How much does it cost?
The cost of adding Talklets to your website depends on the nature of your site and its traffic levels, plus which options you choose. The aim is to provide a highly cost effective and value-adding service that will increase 'stickiness', repeat visits and, on commercial sites, impact the bottom line.

Request a trial and Talklets will respond with a cost which you have the option of taking up after a successful trial period; usually two weeks.

Special rates are available for public services, educational and charitable websites.
