A screen reader is a technology that helps people who have difficulties seeing, to access and interact with digital content, like web sites or applications via audio or touch. The main users of screen readers are people who are blind or have very limited vision.

For more information on screen readers, please visit Ability Net.org.uk/.

There are three popular and FREE systems available

• NDVA for Windows : visit the NVDA site
• Narrator for Windows : visit the Narrator site
• VoiceOver for Apple devices : visit the Apple site

Note: both Narrator and Voiceover software is already installed on the computer. The NVDA software has to be downloaded and installed.

My new project for 2023, is to learn more about NVDA.

A few pages to try :-

1. Learn the main keys    Four pages.
2. My NVDA practice page
3. A list of Keyboard shortcuts
4. A short list of the main Keyboard shortcuts With sound.
5. NVDA and Gmail With sound.

I have tried to master MS Narrator but I think things have changed since my first attempts in 2019. My practice page is below, see if it works for you.
