- dual-colour highlighting

- translation
- MP3 maker
- screen masking
- pronunciation modifier
- secure site reading

The toolbar
Using the buttons on the toolbar, you can:
- hear text read aloud
- translate it
- convert to MP3
- add a screen mask
- magnify text
- personalise your own settings
Text to speech
ReachDeck reads text on a webpage out loud. The options:
- Hover to speak (on by default when you launch the toolbar)
- Speak the current selection
Translation
ReachDeck translates a page into 99 languages and can speak aloud 40 of those.
MP3 generation
ReachDeck converts text that you select in a page into an audio file. You can then listen to it later on.
Screen mask
This lets you apply a colour filter to your screen. A semi-opaque mask extends across the screen, leaving a letterbox reading window so you can focus on a few lines at a time.
Text magnification
You can magnify the text as it's being read aloud. You can set the font, size and colour to suit your needs (in the settings).
Settings
In the settings menu you can personalise the features to suit your own needs. You can personalise the following:
- Highlight colours for text to speech and text magnification
- Set text magnifier on as default
- Select the size of the magnified text
- Switch hover to speak off
- Select voice speed
- Identify links on a webpage
