Screen Reader

Assistive technology software that converts on-screen text, interface elements, and structured content into synthesized speech or Braille output, enabling blind and low vision users to navigate and interact with computers, smartphones, and the web. Major screen readers include JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. Screen readers rely on properly structured HTML, ARIA attributes, and meaningful alt text to convey information accurately. The quality of the screen reader experience depends heavily on how well content creators and developers follow accessibility standards.
