What is VoiceOver?
VoiceOver is a screen reader built into Apple Inc.'s macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and iPod operating systems. By using VoiceOver, the user can access their Macintosh or iOS device based on spoken descriptions and, in the case of the Mac, the keyboard. The feature is designed to increase accessibility for blind and low-vision users, as well as for users with dyslexia. It includes the option to magnify the screen, control the keyboard, and provide verbal descriptions to describe what is happening on the screen. It also has the capacity to read aloud file content, as well as web pages, E-mail messages, and word processing files.
What are screen readers?
Screen readers are software programs used to help the visually impaired to easily access electronic information. These software programs run on a computer in order to convey the displayed information through voice (text-to-speech) or braille (refreshable braille displays) in combination with magnification for low vision users in some cases.
