Screen readers

These tools let you experience your knowledge base exactly as someone using a screen reader does. Not for the faint of heart:

  • Screen Reader Demo: Marc Sutton at U of C demonstrates how screen reader users actually navigate digital spaces
  • Pericles screen reader: Useful for quick checks in your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)
  • NVDA screen reader: Downloadable for free, because accessibility really means something to them, but they do accept donations
  • JAWS screen reader: One of the most widely used screen reading tools

Kenzie Woodbridge shared most of these tool suggestions during Season 3, Episode 6 of The Not-Boring Tech Writer podcast.
