ADA Protect - Text to Speech

In this article you'll be guided through the use of our ADA Protect tool to ensure equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

We now provide a full ADA compliant user widget to protect you and your company from any lawsuits.

What is ADA Compliance?

The Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design was published by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in September 2010. This regulation states that all any any electronic and information technology should be accessible to anyone with disabilities.


With the ADA Protect add-on your website will be up to the accessibility standards and provides anyone the entities that are covered by the ADA.
