Who Benefits from Audio Content

Visual Impairments

285 million people have visual impairments. Audio provides an alternative when screen readers feel mechanical.

Dyslexia

5-10% of people have dyslexia. Audio lets them consume content without decoding text.

Cognitive Differences

Many people process audio better than text. Audio gives them a preferred learning modality.

Everyone Else

Busy readers, multitaskers, non-native speakers—audio makes content accessible in new contexts.

How Audio Improves Accessibility

Complements Screen Readers

While screen readers parse the entire page, ProSpeaker provides a natural narration of just the content. Many users prefer a human-like voice for long-form content.

Reduces Cognitive Load

For users with dyslexia or ADHD, following along with audio while reading can improve comprehension and reduce the effort required to process text.

Supports Non-Native Speakers

Hearing content spoken helps non-native speakers understand pronunciation and improve their language skills while consuming your content.

Enables Multitasking

Users with motor impairments who find scrolling and reading tiring can listen to content hands-free.

Easy to Implement
