Readspeaker

From text to speech

ReadSpeaker webReader can read out loud the content of a website. On any online device, wherever you are, one click and the page is read aloud while the text is highlighted to facilitate reading along. This makes the website accessible to a wider audience of internet users, including people with learning disabilities or visual impairments, the low-literate, those learning a new language, the ever-growing elderly and anyone who prefers listening to rather than reading, or who wants to access websites on the go. webReader is cloud-based (SaaS). To use it, you do not need to download anything.

I have sent an e-mail/letter, but still no reply?

Of course, you can always call us (from the 4th working day onwards) to ask why you have not yet received a response. Is it urgent? Then call us as soon as possible.

I receive mail at my address for a person who does not live here (anymore). What can I do?

In this case, we ask that you return the mail to us unopened so that we know the address is incorrect.
