A screen reading system for use with a computer such as Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac consists of a voice synthesizer and a screen reading program.

A screen reading program translates the written text displayed on the screen for the voice synthesizer which then reproduces the text as speech. A screen reader will also read back other information that may be present on the screen such as menu options etc.

Some common features of screen readers include the ability to:

• change the rate, pitch, and tone of the voice synthesizer,
• modify the way the voice synthesizer pronounces symbols, characters or words,
• move the mouse pointer using keyboard controls,
• read out the whole computer screen, or read out a document from start to finish.

Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7 all include a very basic screen reader that will read parts of the screen out to you. However, due to a number of limitations with this feature, it is not particularly useful for a person who is totally blind. In this case you would still require a dedicated screen reader to use with the computer system.

Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard and later OS versions by Apple include a fully featured screen reader known as VoiceOver. It provides a wide variety of features. These include a high-speed, high-quality voice, plug-and-play support for refreshable Braille displays, international language support, an interactive built-in tutorial, and the NumPad Commander, which makes navigation easier for new Mac owners who previously used Windows screen readers.

Besides using a voice synthesizer, many screen readers are also designed to work with electronic or refreshable braille displays.
