About this project
AI Text To Speech
To strengthen ADA compliance and improve access to digital content, I developed a streamlined text-to-speech solution designed for modern websites. The goal was to remove barriers for visitors with accessibility needs while making content easier to consume for a broader audience.
After evaluating available text-to-speech technologies, I selected Microsoft’s speech platform for its natural, human-sounding voices. Using Azure and Cloudflare, I built a secure, scalable interface that allows web teams to quickly convert page content into spoken audio.
In addition, I designed a fully ADA-compliant audio player that integrates seamlessly into existing websites. The player is intuitive, keyboard-accessible, and screen-reader friendly, enabling visitors to easily play, pause, and navigate audio content without friction.
This solution is well suited for news articles, newsletters, announcements, and long-form pages commonly found in higher education and public-sector environments. Providing an audio option improves comprehension, supports inclusive communication, and helps institutions meet accessibility standards while increasing engagement and overall content effectiveness.
Below is an example of the audio generated from this page.
