Sensory
Readable

What is it?

Sensory Readable is an enhanced accessibility tool for Microsoft Windows. With an easy-to-use toolbar, it provides text-to-speech and other reading and writing support in most content.

Key features

• Text to speech using natural voices installed on your computer, so it works offline
• Point & Speak: move your cursor over text to hear it read aloud
• Word-by-word tracking with a highlight you can customise
• Export text as MP3 audio files to listen to later
• Microsoft Word integration, dictation support and offline word definitions
• Built-in OCR to read scanned and image-based text, plus a PDF reader and a PDF convert tool
• Visual comfort tools: colour tints, a night mode, a reading ruler and six reading fonts

Who it’s for

Sensory Readable is designed by an independent UK company for people who need reading and writing support, in education and at work. It runs offline, with no cloud connection needed, and is available on a perpetual licence.

Support from Ability Smart

It can be recommended as part of a workplace needs assessment, and if it appears in your Access to Work report you can upload the report for a same-day quote.
