What is a screen reader? How do they work? Who uses them?

Screen readers are essential tools for many disabled users and navigating via a screen reader is also a very different experience from navigating visually.

Learn about the history of screen readers, how they work under the hood, how users navigate and use websites with a screen reader, and how you can ensure users are supported and able to use your sites and apps with ease.

A lot of people are interested in and committed to digital accessibility, but specialized tools like screen readers can be an intimidating hurdle to overcome. I'd like to properly introduce people to these tools, and show them the basic skills they'll need to start validating and testing digital accessibility on their own.
