NVDA - a free, Open Source screen reader (External link)

With NVDA you can read web-sites, MS Word documents, emails and our .pdf files in synthetic speech.

This is an efficient tool, but we did need to adjust the default speed setting of the voice before using the software widely.

Ideal for our visitors who have some sight impairment.

We have tested this software in IE7 and Firefox/Mozilla. Runs on Windows operating sytem only.
