I have used many of these on my WordPress blog and found out that they either break my site, or don’t include the whole content, or they do both. Plus many give you just one option of where to put the text to speech text link or graphic\/file. You just don’t have the control you need. <\/p>\n
So I decided I would create my own block of code text that includes the link to the mp3 and has a nice text to speech image. I create my own text to speech files and upload them then take it from there. <\/p>\n
I am not a hacker. I am not much of a website coder either. I just pick up a little code here and there from the net when I need it. The problem I described above is the norm when it comes to text to speech on the Internet. No one but just a few wants to mess with the idea. Those that do are limited to getting the tool that converts the text. Those that convert the text limits your text, and\/or doesn’t do a very good job. <\/p>\n
The code I used is below but i wish it was a part of WordPress and marked as a area that you can tic to enable, and use you own small graphic image or select one from a list of colors, and told those fixing to download or listen how to download in case they don’t know how. <\/p>\n
I really wish WordPress could be the first one that caters to the sight impaired to help bloggers out that want to be . My code is not that great I am sure others could do better job of it. <\/p>\n
