M Line embraces enhanced accessibility with ReadSpeaker for an optimal and accessible website experience
M line, a leading company in the sleep industry, is proud to announce a ground-breaking partnership with ReadSpeaker. M line is one of the first companies in the Netherlands which integrates this innovative technology into its e-commerce environment. This functionality converts text into speech, making the website more accessible to a wider range of internet users.
With the integration of ReadSpeaker, M line's website becomes more accessible to people with learning disabilities, visual impairments, low-literates, those who are learning a new language, the ever-growing group of elderly people, and anyone who prefers listening to reading or wants to access websites on the go.
"At M line, we strive to be innovative and inclusive," says Jelle van den Berk, Performance Marketing Specialist at M line. By collaborating with ReadSpeaker, we are making our website more accessible, regardless of their reading ability or physical limitations. We are proud to be one of the first commercial companies in the Netherlands to take this step and we hope others will follow our example."
What does this mean for users?
The partnership with ReadSpeaker provides a unique listening experience, allowing visitors to the M line website to easily have content read to them. This is a significant improvement for:
- People with learning disabilities: text-to-speech technology helps them better understand and process content.
- Visually impaired: users with visual impairments can now effortlessly listen to the website's content.
- Low-literate and neurotypical people: for people who have difficulty reading, the listening function provides an easy way to access information.
- Elderly people: the ageing population who often have difficulty reading on a screen will find this new feature particularly useful.
- Anyone who prefers listening to reading: whether you are on the move or just prefer listening to reading, the ReadSpeaker integration makes it easier to access our content.
The new feature is now available on the M line website and can be activated simply by clicking on the "Listen" button displayed on every page.
