Magnification & Screen Reading

Home » Assistive Training » Magnification & Screen Reading

A screen reader is a software application that enables people with severe visual impairments to use a computer. It interprets what is being displayed on the screen and re-presents this information to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons or a Braille output device.

Other features include magnification, highlighting, and screen masking; enabling people with vision and print impairments to independently access their computer.
