On my android phone, if l highlight the posted text l get a tab which gives me various options, one is "Read Aloud" and the post read to me.

Phone sound can also be set to send directly to your hearing aids should that be helpful.

Just thought this may be useful for some with sight challenges.

I was having a grumble on another thread about how this site fails miserably on accessibility standards for web design so it's good to know that there is adaptive technology that can assist.

I think there is a lot of adaptive technology available, it's finding it that's the problem. I tend to stumble across it.

I use a Mac which has in-built Read & Speak which you switch on through the System Settings.

There's also Voice Over - Command + F5.
