ScreenReader Benefits

 

 

 

 

 

Designed Specifically for Blind People

  • ScreenReader is specifically designed for people with blindness or anyone that has no useful sight
  • Because everything you need to know is spoken, or brailled, there's no struggling to see the screen - in fact you don't even need one!
  • Perfect for people that rely solely on speech output, use only Braille, or prefer a blend of both.

Ultimate Access to Your Apps & Documents

  • Powerful speech and Braille access to the latest Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Office and hundreds of other applications enables blind people to create documents, schedule appointments and communicate using the same tools as colleagues and friends
  • Reads with your choice of high quality male and female voices that can be customised to suit your ear. Superior pronunciation with thousands of speech exceptions included.
  • Independently create your own professional looking documents – ScreenReader intelligently announces spelling, style and formatting information, so your documents always look their best.
  • Reads with your choice of high quality male and female voices that can be customised to suit your ear. Superior pronunciation with thousands of speech exceptions included.
  • Read your documents, apps and web pages in Braille instantly. Simply press the buttons on your Braille display and ScreenReader will move forward and back through text accurately translating it to Braille in real-time.
  • Compose email or write a document in Braille. ScreenReader accurately back-translates your Braille input to standard text that instantly appears onscreen.

Personalise the Speech & Braille, Just for You!

  • Choose just how much ScreenReader reads and brailles; select from 4 built-in verbosity schemes or configure your own.
  • ScreenReader supports more than 60 Braille displays, so you can choose the display that suits you, and your budget!
  • Prefer speech on webpages but Braille in Word documents? Save your settings so access to your apps is perfect for you, every time.
  • Position on screen is highlighted with distinct colours to show sighted teachers and colleagues exactly where you are working.

Productivity AND Accuracy

  • There’s no need to struggle to find your way around busy websites. Item Finder presents a convenient list of links & website headings, helping you to find the information you’re looking for and then navigate directly there.
  • Hear the detail! ScreenReader accurately announces as much information as you need, or want.  Hear letters, numbers, punctuation, line breaks and much more.
  • If you're new to a website, and want to explore without the eye strain, try the Dolphin Cursor.  Using only the keyboard you can browse every part of the site, just sit back, listen and watch as the magnification tracks perfectly.
  • Get closer to documents with Braille output that clearly shows: spelling, punctuation and text styles. Appreciate spatial layout of objects on screen with ScreenReader's Braille Physical Mode.
  • Multi task with 'live', refreshable Braille.  Read your presentation notes whilst delivering your presentation or reviewing customer details while on the phone.
  • ScreenReader's Braille input also boosts your productivity, reducing the amount your hands move. Enter data in a spreadsheet, type meeting minutes in Word or navigate the Windows Start menu, all directly from your Braille display.

Scan and Read Documents, Browse and Read books, and More

  • Scan and read (OCR) paper documents and letters to independently sort through your post or overflowing in-tray!
  • Frustratingly 80% of PDF documents have been created in a way that makes them inaccessible to visually impaired people.  But that's not the end of the road; ScreenReader can 'scan and read'  inaccessible PDF documents. You don't even need a scanner!
  • Enjoy direct and instant access to 1,000's of accessible books and newspapers from our trusted library partners, including RNIB Newsagent, NLS BARD, NFB-NEWSLINE®, Bookshare®, CNIB (Canada), Passend Lezen (Netherlands), Anderslezen (Belgium), MTM (Sweden), Inlästingstjänst (Sweden), NLB (Norway), SBS (Switzerland), ePubBooks & Project Gutenberg.
    • Read directly on your Windows device
