Some of you will probably have come across Gary Hayes’ social media counts which show an approximation of the real-time activity of the social web, the mobile and game industries. Some of these counts relate to text content being created, added or modified eg blog posts or iPhone app donwloads that have text rich content. That is the nice part of our speech-enabling web apps for content owners. Once our code has been added, the text is being converted dynamically on-the-fly. In effect, with our ReadSpeaker products, web site, mobile app owners get a dynamic audio output from their constantly changing text content.

I attended some weeks ago the 4th European eAccessibility Forum organised by BrailleNet. BrailleNet have just published the proceedings. The conference was of very high quality and I particularly enjoyed the hands-on experiences of some speakers on the challenges of maintaining accessibility standards on their web sites. You can also listen to the proceedings thanks to our ReadSpeaker docReader product in action.
