Goal and impact

ReadSpeaker ensures that more people can understand our websites, including those who are visually impaired and those who cannot read (well). Visitors can also choose to make the texts even easier to understand.

Considerations

Since the algorithm only reads out texts that are public, there are no risks. Simplifying texts is done with AI.

Human intervention

For simpler texts, visitors are given a warning about what can go wrong with AI. For comments, contact the Communications Department.

Risk management

Operations

Data
