ASCIA Dietary Guides - now with ReadSpeaker - October 2022

ASCIA Dietary Guides for food allergy are now available in html (webpage format) as well as pdf. This means that each Guide can be translated using ReadSpeaker, which was not possible when they were only available as pdf documents.  ReadSpeaker also enables text to speech for people who are vision impaired or have limited reading ability.

Each ASCIA Dietary Guide (as listed below) has ReadSpeaker installed, which enables translations by highlighting the text, clicking on 'translate’ and selecting the language.
