How to Add Text-to-Speech for Accessibility
Offering an audio version of your content is one of the highest-impact accessibility improvements you can make. It helps people with visual impairments and dyslexia, and it serves the large audience that simply prefers to listen.
Who benefits from audio
- People with low vision or blindness
- Readers with dyslexia or other reading difficulties
- Multitaskers, commuters and language learners
- Anyone with screen fatigue who prefers listening
Do it well
Use a clear, natural voice and a comfortable pace. Keep the audio in sync with the text it represents, and make the play control easy to find. Natural neural voices are far easier to listen to for long stretches than old robotic TTS.
Common mistakes
Avoid auto-playing audio, don't bury the controls, and don't rely on audio alone — pair it with proper text semantics and captions for video. Accessibility is about giving people choices, not forcing one mode.
