Product Description: 

CLiCk, Speak is an open-source, freely available extension for the Firefox web browser. It is part of the CLC-4-TTS Suite of products, it features a mouse-driven interface, and it reads web pages.

Main Features: 

  • Reading with a simple interface - CLiCk, Speak is designed to be as easy to use for sighted users as possible. The interface is completely mouse-driven; there's no need to remember any key combinations.
  • Read through a page by placing the cursor and hitting the GO button; read a selection by highlighting the text and hitting the SPEAK button.
  • Multilingual support - CLiCk, Speak uses standard speech engine interfaces such as SAPI 5, Java FreeTTS, and ORCA. Any voice synthesizer that supports these interfaces can be used with CLiCk, Speak.
  • CLiCk, Speak uses the "lang" attribute to determine the appropriate language to use; it will even work on pages where multiple languages are being used as long as all the sections are marked properly.
  • Close integration with Firefox - Because CLiCk, Speak works directly within the Firefox browser, it always provides users with a live view of the webpage, rather than a frozen snapshot.
