Description
ChromeVox is a screen reader extension for the Chrome browser that reads out webpages. ChromeVox enables visually impaired users to experience the power of web applications while also giving developers a way to verify the accessibility of their web applications. ChromeVox speaks the content of the page, plays audio indicators for page load progress and objects on the page, and provides a way to navigate all web content from the keyboard.
Using with other Screen Readers Whether you're using JAWS, WindowEyes, or NVDA on Windows or VoiceOver on Mac, ChromeVox works within Chrome alongside your desktop screen reader. If you're on Windows or Mac OS X, ChromeVox automatically takes over when you switch to Chrome. ChromeVox helps you navigate websites, while your desktop screen reader navigates the rest of the Chrome interface, like menus and toolbars. As you navigate between these parts of the application, the two screen readers take turns speaking the content depending on where you are.
