Folha de S.Paulo uses ReadSpeaker to improve the accessibility of its digital content

Folha de S.Paulo newspaper

Founded in 1921, Folha is the most influential newspaper in Brazil, and also the one with the largest paid circulation, with more than 800,000 subscribers.

Its digital edition, created in 1995, was the first real-time newspaper on the internet in Brazil.

Folha has used the ReadSpeaker service for its digital content since 2013, with the aim of improving the reading experience and accessibility for its readers.

The “listen to the text” icon is placed just below the headlines. And the read-aloud feature is available for all the content of the online newspaper and also in the international editions (English and Spanish).

“The tool has helped us increase the reach of what we produce, as well as showing our firm commitment to improving the accessibility of our content“, says Roberto Dias, managing editor of Folha.

This is a partnership of more than 10 years, and from the very beginning the reaction of readers has been very positive. We look back at the very interesting video produced by the newspaper in 2013 (the year the tool was added), with real testimonials from Folha readers.
