This week TheFA.com has taken a big stride forward in making the site accessible for everyone that wants to be involved with it.
From now, you can have every story on the site read to you. Independent studies have shown that people find it easier to use websites with speech, and ReadSpeaker also aims to make the Internet accessible for people with dyslexia, learning difficulties and low vision while also appealing to those who prefer to listen as well as read Internet content.
By clicking on the 'Say it' icon in the top right-hand corner of the page, you will activate the ReadSpeaker programme.
It will then open a new page which will read you that story.
"It's a great advent for the site," said Dan Freedman, The FA's Editor. "We're in constant discussion with all disability groups as to how we can make football as a whole more accessible for everyone who loves the game.
"This is a clear instance in which TheFA.com can play a direct role in that regard."
He added: "One of our campaigns at The FA is Football For All. This is a case of that ethos being practically put into action."
So, if you want to try ReadSpeaker, click the button at the top of this or any other page.
This is a new development, so your feedback would be appreciated. E-Mail us as Editor@TheFA.com
