A screen reader is a software program installed in a computer's operating system that allows visually impaired individuals to access and read text displayed on the screen. Since blind individuals primarily rely on their senses of hearing and touch for receiving information, the screen reader converts all commands and visual elements into accessible formats. It either transforms the text into Braille using a Braille display or into speech using a speech synthesizer. This enables blind users to interact with digital content effectively through touch or sound.
