Text to Speech - Listen Online
www.thurrock.gov.uk is a speech-enabled web site. This means that if you have speakers or headphones attached to your computer, then you have the option to hear our web pages being read aloud. We provide a choice of two services, called Dixerit Plus and Browsealoud, which work in very different ways and give you the freedom to select the accessibility and technology preferences that best suit your needs.
