Public Administration
Over 20% of the population are “functionally illiterate”.
An estimated:
- 7.5 million people have a reading age of an 11 year old.
- 6 million people are dyslexic.
- 2 million people have vision impairment.
- 1.5 million have cognitive difficulties.
- 3.4 million have a disability, which prevents them from using a standard keyboard, screen and mouse set-up with ease.
More than 10% of the population has English as a second language.
In some countries, there is a legal obligation to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate people with a disability. Grave dyslexia is considered a disability.
In UK, under the Disability Equality Duty public sector bodies have a duty to actively promote equality.
PAS 78:2006 recognises the benefits of “speech-enablement” for people with cognitive impairments (e.g. dyslexia). This guidance document, Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 78, was developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and sponsored by the Disability Rights Commission.
Adding audio to your website with our service will make it accessible to all – including people who do not have access to assistive technology.
More generally, adding audio will make the contents of your website easily accessible not only to people with disabilities, but also to:
- Elderly.
- Children.
- Foreigners.
- All those who prefer to listen rather than read.
Education
A very useful service in teaching:
- Using audio in learning offers an alternative way to study.
- Children and students with reading difficulties can follow text being read at their own pace, until it feels comfortable to read.
- Listening and looking at the text at the same time can significantly increase learning skills
- Audio is an important support to learn foreign languages: helps with the pronunciation of certain words.
- Audio is environmental friendly: avoids unnecessary printings.
