Screen Reader Resources
Screen Reader Resources
Screen reader technology is a vital tool that enables individuals with visual impairments to access and interact with digital content. It works by translating text and interactive elements on a computer or mobile device screen into audio or touch feedback. Screen readers are particularly beneficial for people who are blind or have limited vision, but they can also assist individuals with learning, motor, or cognitive disabilities. These tools read aloud the content on the screen and allow users to navigate through websites and applications via speech output or a Braille display. Three of the most commonly used screen readers are NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
