Voice & accessibility

A chatbot that actually speaks

Read-aloud, Easy mode and first-language help β€” built for ESOL and low-literacy adult learners in colleges, and for any visitor who'd rather listen than read. Press a button below and hear it for yourself, right now, in your browser.

Hear it live

Turn on Easy mode, change the speed or voice, and press Listen. Real audio β€” no sign-up.

Making an appointment

Of course. I can help you book a doctor's appointment. Could you tell me which day suits you best, and whether you'd prefer a morning or afternoon slot?

Money and prices

That pack costs Β£3.50. Two of them would be Β£7.00 altogether. If you pay with a Β£10 note, your change is Β£3.00.

Telling the time

The next bus leaves at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. On the timetable that is shown as 15:00.

Help in the learner's own language

Available languages depend on your device's installed voices.

This demo uses your browser's built-in voice (free, on-device). In comxbot you can connect ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Azure, Google or PlayHT for studio-quality, natural voices β€” or keep this free browser voice as the always-available fallback.

Designed for the learners who need it most

Grounded in evidence on adult ESOL and low-literacy learning β€” and on what makes read-aloud genuinely usable.

Answers people can hear, not just read

Plenty of visitors would rather listen β€” and many ESOL or low-literacy adults can't rely on reading at all. Read-aloud means they still get the answer. Use the free on-device voice, or connect ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Azure, Google or PlayHT for natural, properly multilingual speech.

Make any bot usable in one tap

Easy mode switches a bot to simpler wording, larger text, read-aloud and big tap-to-start buttons β€” so adults who are still learning to read can actually use it. You can turn it on by default, so a learner never has to find a setting.

Reach learners in their own language

Speakers of around 20 languages can get help in theirs, without losing the point of practising English: the learner picks their language, the assistant helps when they're stuck, then guides them back to English β€” in the right voice.

Nobody stuck at a blank box

A learner can begin by tapping a picture β€” money, an appointment, the time, or 'talk to a person' β€” with no reading or typing. Fewer people give up at the first screen, so more conversations actually start.

Calm and confidence-building

Adjustable speaking speed and patient, one-idea-at-a-time replies, with no scores and no timers. It's a low-pressure space to practise β€” which is exactly what helps anxious or beginner learners keep going.

Offer it with confidence

Provider keys are encrypted and never reach the browser, a daily spend cap protects your bill, and it's built to UK GDPR and WCAG 2.2 AA expectations β€” so meeting your accessibility duties is built in, not bolted on.

For colleges & training providers

Reach the learners who need it most β€” those still learning to read, or new to English β€” and evidence your accessibility and inclusion duties. Learners who can self-serve mean fewer queues at the front desk.

For businesses

Help visitors who'd rather listen, who don't read English easily, or who are multitasking. A bot that speaks β€” in their language β€” looks more premium and more inclusive than a text-only competitor.

For every visitor

An answer they can hear, in plain words, at their own pace, in their own language β€” on every plan, with the free browser voice always available as a fallback.

Bring your own voice

Connect the voice provider you already trust

ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Azure AI Speech, Google Cloud TTS and PlayHT β€” add your key, pick a voice per bot, even a different voice per language. Or don't connect anything and use the free browser voice. Either way, read-aloud never breaks.
