About screen readers
A screen reader converts the text on a screen into speech or braille, helping people with visual impairments use computers and phones. This portal uses semantic headings, landmarks, text alternatives and full keyboard navigation to support commonly used screen readers.
Screen readers you can use
Free and built-in
- NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access): a free, open-source screen reader for Windows.
- Narrator: built into Windows.
- VoiceOver: built into Apple devices, including Mac computers, iPhones and iPads.
- TalkBack: built into Android phones and tablets.
Commercial
- JAWS (Job Access With Speech): a widely used commercial screen reader for Windows.
If you need to download a screen reader, use only the developer’s official website.
