Screen reader

From TheBestLinks.com

A screen reader is a software application that converts text, graphics, and other aspects of a computer interface into spoken words (by text-to-speech) and/or Braille.

A screen reader can read, among others:

• The operating system in general.
• Text-mode programs, like DOS and telnet sessions.
• Any GUI graphics and text on the screen.
• Web browsers and email and usenet clients.
• Office suite programs.

Leading screen readers include:

• Jaws by Freedom Scientific (http://www.freedomscientific.com)
• Window-Eyes by GW Micro (http://www.gwmicro.com)
• Hal by Dolphin
• OutSpoken by Alva Access Group (discontinued for Mac OS 9)
• Speakup (http://www.linux-speakup.org), a linux screen reader

In 2004, Apple announced that a future version of OS X would include a full-featured screen reader, later named VoiceOver.
