We’re excited to introduce our enhanced text-to-speech experience on our Assistive Toolbar, shaped directly by the feedback of our customers and end-users.
While the core functionality remains just as powerful, we’ve made several key updates to streamline the user experience, improve usability, and offer even more intuitive controls. Let’s take a look at what’s new.
What’s New in Text-to-Speech
Streamlined Controls
Accessing text-to-speech settings is now quicker and more intuitive. We’ve introduced a new drop-down menu under the text-to-speech icon, giving you easier access to the tools you use most.
Enhanced Player Controls
Enjoy more control over your listening experience with updated play, pause, and navigation features. The player controls now remain static on the page, offering better accessibility and ease of use, particularly for keyboard users.
Quick On/Off Toggle
Switching text-to-speech on and off is now simpler than ever. A new checkbox toggle lets users activate or deactivate the feature instantly. You can also access these settings directly by clicking the icon on the player controls.
A Cleaner, Simpler Interface
This update isn’t just about functionality, it’s about clarity. We’ve reduced the number of icons on the toolbar to ease cognitive load and improve the overall user experience.
- The Settings icon has been removed to simplify navigation.
- A new Information icon has been added to help users better understand the toolbar and its features, providing clear and helpful guidance at a glance.
Why It Matters
These improvements are designed to help everyone, especially those with cognitive, visual, or literacy challenges, interact with online content more confidently and comfortably.
At Recite Me, we believe that accessibility should be seamless. This update is part of our ongoing mission to make the digital world inclusive for all.
