How Our Screen Reader Tool Uses Language Attributes

Our screen reader tool uses the HTML lang= attribute to define the voice, language, and accent that will be used to announce elements on your website.

We understand that this may cause some confusion, especially when dealing with languages that have multiple accents or regions, on the following list below, you can find some common language attributes:

Languages with Multiple Accents or Regions:

  • English (US/UK/Australia)
