Accessbar: Firefox Extension - 4/13/2007 19:41:04   
If I'm behind the times and this is posted somewhere else, sorry!

Accessbar

quote:

Features
• Web page fonts and background colors can be changed from a selecton of 70 colors on current session
• Icons with configurable shortcut keys to increase and decrease Font size.
• Line spacing can be increased or decreased to five different spacing settings incrementally.
• All images (including Flash) displayed on a web page can be selected as being hiden or shown.
• All changes made to web page display can be restored to original page settings by pressing “Restore Page“.
• Changes made to the currently displayed web page persist until “Restore Page“ is selected.
• Integrated Text To Speech reader. Reads out strings hovered over as well as focused elements.
• Reader settings can be configured allowing the selection of the voice, volume, speaking rate, pitch, and voice range.
• Toolbar functions have configurable Hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts).




There's further instructions here, and especially with regard to setting up the text-to-speech feature here

While most of these features are freely available to us designers elsewhere, I'm wondering whether it might be useful to include in "Accessibility Statements" as a kind of "all-in-one" for those who might need to change text size, change line-spacing, font or background colours etc?
