| 1.
Your site interacts with visitors in a new way. Most everyone enjoys
being read to.
2. Web pages
are rarely read, they're skimmed. Visitors to your
site don't read carefully unless sure they'll gain something so they
miss most of your message. Listening prevents skimming.
3. Many are
poor readers who welcome the chance to listen to
what you have to say.
4.
Accessibility to the disabled is increasingly important. The
ADA does apply to web sites in the U.S. and the Justice
Department has published guidelines.
All Federally funded entities must comply. Audio presentation can bring
your website into compliance with
the law.
A pleasant
audio presentation broadens the appeal of your web site. At least 4% of
the population is dyslexic. Add to this, poor readers, the visually
impaired and the semi-literate. Any librarian will tell you there is an
intense demand for audio presentation of material.
5. Children
and college students appreciate listening to web pages. One can even
listen to a page while surfing elsewhere on the web - like listening to
talk-radio while working. The alternative is that your visitor surfs on
and misses your message entirely.
Audio
reaches more people.
