BrowseAloud uses accessibility techniques to access and speak content from websites. BrowseAloud speech options include multiple language translations.
Once you have BrowseAloud installed on your computer, all you need to do is hover your cursor over a selection of text. BrowseAloud will highlight the words and read them out loud.

Other Translation Assistance
For text translations, you can use a service provided by Yahoo. Translations may vary due to differences in dialects.
Once on the Yahoo Translation website, there are two ways you can translate:
- For a specific block of text, copy the text from the web site and then paste into the "Translate a Block of Text" box.
- For a web page, type in the URL for the page in the "Translate a Web Page" box . For example, using this page, you would copy the address box at the top of the page: http://www.cctexas.com/?fuseaction=main.view&page=2749 and then paste it in the "Translate a Web Page" box.
Once you have entered the block of text or page URL, then select the preferred language in the dropdown menu and click the "Translate" button.
