ReadSpeaker: A voice for all
Central to this partnership is the integration of ReadSpeaker's text-to-speech (TTS) technology on the Fundashon Alton Paas website. This feature marks a significant step towards our goal of digital inclusivity, providing a voice to written content and making information accessible to individuals with visual impairments and other disabilities. As ReadSpeaker celebrates its 25th anniversary, we're proud to collaborate with a partner whose technology not only speaks volumes but also embodies the change we wish to see in the digital realm.
Our vision for an inclusive digital future

By harnessing the power of TTS technology, we are one step closer to breaking down barriers and ensuring that everyone can benefit from the digital world.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, our focus remains on expanding the reach of digital accessibility. The next phase of our journey includes exploring ways to enhance TTS technology to recognize and pronounce Papiamentu, further reducing communication barriers and promoting inclusivity within the Caribbean community.
We are excited about the possibilities this partnership brings and are committed to continuing our efforts in making the digital landscape a place for everyone. Together with Fundashon Alton Paas and ReadSpeaker, SIM Caribbean is set to embark on a path of meaningful innovation and impactful change.
