Every person who is blind or visually impaired and reading AccessWorld would probably be more than willing to attest to the importance of technology in their daily lives. An accessible computer plays a prominent role in reading books, dealing with mail, managing finances, and completing job-related projects. Advancements in mobile technology from the smartphone to the Apple Watch have only increased the power and freedom of the blind and low vision community. It's not uncommon to find people who are blind comparing notes on how many screen readers are installed on their systems, or lamenting the fact that 800 words per minute is just not quite fast enough to skim through all the documentation that needs to be read in one day.

But what about those who, through motor or neurological impairment, find it difficult to quickly navigate a computer keyboard or remember a large number of screen reader commands? What options are available to the newly blinded veteran who is in the process of adjusting to significant injury, or the senior citizen who finds herself quickly losing her vision with no prior computing experience to rely on at all? In this article, we will take a look at Dolphin Guide, hereafter referred to simply as Guide, a screen reading solution from Dolphin Computer Access that seeks to meet the needs of those who might find traditional mainstream and access technology to be difficult to master.

More than just a screen reader, Guide is a suite of applications intended to help users with visual impairments who are brand new to computers, or who are unable to complete complex, multistep tasks. The application strives to meet the needs of someone who has never touched a computer, while providing the flexibility for that person to improve his computing skills in order to move on to fairly advanced computing tasks such as managing files, taking care of finances, and engaging in leisure activities such as making Skype calls and enjoying movies and music. While providing as much flexibility as possible, the developers of Guide have been careful to break all tasks down into simplified steps, and to provide clear, consistent feedback about what is happening on the computer screen at all times. When evaluating Guide, it is important to remember that the software has been developed for three types of user:

Using a computer without being connected to the Internet is hard to imagine these days. The Internet continues to expand and provide an enormous amount of information from trivia to the latest world news. Guide provides its own Web browser that can be operated in text-only mode, or as a more traditional browser showing both text and images on a webpage. I chose to use the more traditional mode, and found the browser to be quite useable. By default, Guide loads a homepage that provides a description of how to surf the Web with Guide. In addition to entering a URL from the address bar, you can search the Web from there as well. Additionally, you can perform commands from the address bar such as typing the word "close" to exit the browser, and "links" to show a list of links on a webpage. Guide's browser is optimized for those who will surf the Web using the Arrow keys, although other keys such as the Tab key and the letter H to move from heading to heading are also available. I found that while I was able to move between headings on a webpage with the letter H, Guide did not announce heading levels as most screen readers do.

JAWS was first developed for computers using the DOS operating system in 1989 and since then has supported almost every version of Windows. Recent surveys have placed it at the top of the screen reader pile, with over 46% of the surveyed claiming to use it as their primary screen reader, and 66% saying that they use it often.

The biggest strength of JAWS is the fact that has been around longer than any other screen reader and, as a result, features the longest list of powerful features and comprehensive customization options. JAWS has the ability to attach shortcut keys or key combos to almost every Windows function. It also includes a distinct mode for Browser software, making it an extremely versatile way to access web content.

Yes. Screen readers are computer applications that read aloud text, menus, and dialogues that appear on a computer screen. They are commonly used by students who are blind. A related application the text reader is commonly used by students with learning disabilities and other non-visual print disabilities. However, they do not provide the same level of access to items like menus and dialogues that screen readers do.

In order for screen readers to correctly read math information, that information must be composed in MathML. Otherwise, graphics of math equations will not be accessible to screen readers or text readers.

A number of commonly used screen readers can utilize MathML content when used with the MathPlayer plug-in. For example, the screen readers JAWS, Dolphin ScreenReader, and ReachDeck Toolbar all support MathML.

The following is a list of screen readers for Windows & macOS ranked by popularity. Both operating systems also have built-in accessibility features such as contrast, color, and zoom features. More information can be found below.

Dolphin ScreenReader, is a screen reader for Windows computers, less commonly used in the USA, but more popular in the UK and Europe. It is also a core component of SuperNova Magnifier & Screen Reader. Hot keys are common to both products.

If you are new to screen readers, plan on spending some time (perhaps a few hours) becoming comfortable using Dolphin. Don't get discouraged if things still seem confusing after only a few minutes. Slow down the reading speed and take your time. Remember that many screen reader users do not use a mouse, so try using only the keyboard as you become more comfortable with a screen reader.

Since screen readers use many of the keys on the keyboard for quick navigation, filling in a form or interacting with a widget presents a dilemma. For example, when pressing the "H" key, how does a screen reader know if you want to navigate to the next heading or enter the letter into a textbox?

A screen reader is software that enables people with sight loss to use computers. It reads the text on the screen in a computerized voice. People generally interact with the computer using a standard keyboard. Most screen readers can also convert text into braille if the user owns a braille display device. Screen readers hold the key to education and employment for many people with sight loss.

JAWS for Windows: JAWS for Windows is a popular screen reader produced by VFO Group (formerly Freedom Scientific). Available since the early 1990s, it has a large user base. Tech support is provided Monday through Friday. More info on JAWS can be found on the Freedom Scientific website.

Non-Visual Desktop Access (NVDA): NVDA is a free and open-source screen reader for Windows. It is updated on a regular basis and has a large user base around the world. Since the software is free, tech support options are limited and are mainly provided through online forums. More info about NVDA can be found on the NV Access website.

Microsoft Narrator: Microsoft Narrator is a screen reader built in since Windows XP. With Windows 10, Narrator has gained new capabilities, putting it on par with screen readers like JAWS and NVDA.For more info about Narrator, please visit the Microsoft website.

Okay the thing that you should be aware of is that Microsoft Narrator is a screen reader which reads text on the screen aloud and describes some events about the computer which are error message appearing that really happen while anyone is using their computer.

Also Microsoft recommends that any visually impaired person should purchase their own full-function screen reader for general computer use as Microsoft Narrator has limitations and It prefers Microsoft made programs.

Screen readers differ widely from each other, but most are highly configurable. Almost all screen readers allow the user to select whether most punctuation is announced or silently ignored. (Example is you can make the screen reader pause when a coma is present or not.) Some can even be tailored to a particular application through scripting. The scripting is a customization shared by all or not (Think of it as people creating MODs for games except it is used for the visually impaired to improve their readers.) The most fun scripting for me is the JAWS because it has a very active script-sharing community. 17dc91bb1f
