Screen reader
In short and in plain language
A screen reader is a program. It reads out what is on a page.
It can also show the text in braille. This is how blind people and people with poor sight use the web.
For this, the page needs a clear order. It needs headings, buttons with names and text for images.
Definition
A screen reader is a program that reads the content of a page aloud or outputs it on a braille display. Blind and visually impaired people use it to operate websites. For this, the page needs a clear structure: headings, labelled buttons and text alternatives for images.
