Many people find that reading large quantities of text on screen is difficult or tiring. Say It solves that problem as well as freeing users up to do other things while you listen.
Say It will make the magazine more accessible for people with dyslexia, learning difficulties and impaired vision - as well as for people who just prefer to listen to content.
The New Statesman has teamed up with ReadSpeaker to offer the latest in text-to-speech technology for anyone on the internet. Say It works quickly and easily - you just click the "listen" button next to your chosen article on the New Statesman website. You don't need any special programs, you won't be asked to download anything and the voice is very natural and easy to listen to.
New Statesman Online Manager Kathryn Corrick said of the intitiative: "Say It provides another choice for people wanting to access the New Statesman. Now you don't have to sit and read - you can listen to an article while you're busy doing something else."
"You can even save the piece as an MP3 file onto your computer and listen to it later," she added. "This feature will really enhance the way people interact with the New Statesman and we're delighted to be the first magazine in the UK to offer it."
