Can windows 8 or IE10 read a Web page out loud?

My grandson is severely Dyslexic. It must have access to the software that reads a Web page out loud to him. It has been said that this feature is integrated in Windows 8, but I can't find any reference to it. He (and his mother) are not technical, so can not manage, cut and paste text into Notepad to make the Narrator read. The plugin/add needs to operate just like the Text2 speech made in Firefox.

Thanks in advance for the help and advice

Patrick

Hi Patrick

Windows 8 includes the component of text to speech of the Narrator. There is no need to cut and paste the text into Notepad. Check out the following using page for instructions of use.

    If the page you access requires a certain version of IE (the control uses the default IE7, I think), there is a registry key change you can do to make the Web browser control to use a newer version of Internet Explorer. See here for more information: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2011/May/21/Web-Browser-Control-Specifying-the-IE-Version

    Note that it applies to the executable runs the WebBrowserControl - what is LabVIEW.exe in the development environment, or YourExecutableName.exe in the runtime.

    I tried Control Panel - region & language - advanced settings, but it refers to the need for a Windows XP CD I've ever had.

    No, the language and region settings are not responsible for Japanese kanji list in internt explorer 7.
    You will need to download the MUI Pack of Internet Explorer 7. You can find it on Micrsoft.com, but I don't know if this works with SP3.

  • How can I add an icon to a Web page in my bookmarks bar?

    Most Web pages have the coding for the small square icon in the bookmarks toolbar.
    Some do not.
    How can I add an icon to a Web page that does not have an assigned icon?

    It saves space for icons rather than a description of the page.

    These icons are called the favicons. Unfortunately, there no Firefox builtin feature to customize or change the favicon as the favicon is determined by a line in the HTML code of the site.

    There are many addons for Firefox that improve your browsing experience and allow you to make some customizations to Firefox. You can browse the addons of Firefox here.

    The only addon that I could find was the Favicon Images bookmarks addon, but it seems that there are some restrictions and you are only allowed to choose an icon from the list of the addon, not a custom image.

  • Can't get multiple tabs with multiple web pages

    Hi, my plain vanilla firefox browser to Win 8 ceased to give me multiple tabs when I access more than 1 web url. Before you say I have access to 5 sites, and then for each site I get 5 tabs so I can easily switch between web pages. Now they all appear less 1 tablet only.

  • Using Firefox 8.0 on a MacBook Pro I can no longer enlarge the text on web pages by dragging hand two fingers. Why?

    I just downloaded Firefox 8.0.1. I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.8. In the past, I could easily enlarge text on a web page by dragging two fingers apart, or even, to make the text smaller by pinching the fingers together. I can no longer do this with the latest version of Firefox. If I run Safari instead, I can still use this feature of Mac. Y at - it a setting I need to change? Or is this a bug in the new version of Firefox?
