Aural Rendering

The process of converting visual or textual information into a spoken or auditory representation. In programming accessibility, aural rendering transforms source code into speech output that conveys not just the text content but also structural and syntactic information — such as nesting levels, block boundaries, and the relationships between code elements — that sighted programmers perceive visually through indentation and formatting. Aural rendering goes beyond simple screen reader output by adding contextual cues, voice differentiation, and structural markers to make complex information comprehensible through hearing alone.
