Screen Reader
A screen reader is an assistive technology tool that reads out the content of a website to users with visual impairments or other disabilities. It works by converting on-screen text into speech or braille output, enabling users to navigate and access content on a website. Screen readers use a combination of keyboard shortcuts and voice commands to enable users to interact with the website’s content. Web developers and designers need to ensure that their websites are screen-reader-friendly by using appropriate HTML markup, providing alternative text for images, and ensuring that the website's navigation is keyboard-friendly.
