WebRICE (Web Reader ICE) is an open source web reader in development at Reykjavik University. We hope that Icelandic developers will add this free software to their websites to enable Icelandic audiences to listen to the web instead of reading it.
- Install packages with:
npm install - Run with:
npm run dev
WebRICE is also available as an extension on the Chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrice/mmijkiiefioinbdgbadgghcchfilmlmp. The code for the extension is in the webrice-chrome-extension repo.
To include WebRICE's compiled CSS and JS in your website, add the following lines:
<!-- CSS only -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.webrice.is/WebRICE_styles.css" crossorigin="anonymous">
<!-- JavaScript Bundle -->
<script src="http://www.webrice.is/WebRICE.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
But WebRICE will only be visible on your site if you add this tag for the WebRICE toolbar:
<!-- Div for WebRICE's buttons -->
<div id="webrice"></div>
and this id to the HTML tag containing your text.
id="webriceTextContainer"
<!-- example <div id="webriceTextContainer"> Text </div>-->
A demo of WebRICE can be found at https://cadia-lvl.github.io/WebRICE.
NOTE! WebRICE depends on the Tiro TTS API. The code to their API is available on their gitlab page.
