Thank you for this demonstration and the explanations as you navigate! It has been very informative in understanding the use case and some of the potential pitfalls that I, as a developer ,should be aware of.
Thank you so much for even taking any time at all to understand how to make your projects a bit easier for blind people to use. I am humbled and encouraged that even one person would reach out to our isolated community. In 2022, I don't see a way for the blind to participate in society without a much deeper understanding of what is going on under the hood because that is the only way we can provide more specificity when asking for help from others and getting connected with the tech professionals who are making the decisions, which effect what we can utilize or not.
the problem with Jaws is that it is to expensive for people who don't really earn an income, or third world countries. I'm using free NVDA screen reader and I'm very happy with it. It does the same job as Jaws, but at an affordable solution.
On the user-side JAWS is used to read HTML out for blind users. It's pretty common that screen readers are not built into the software itself, but native software for the user. On the developer's end, using proper tags will make any page compatible with JAWS. I'm glad you are working through accessibility! I hope this helps.
With bootstrap, you can wrap elements with the .sr-only class. This way, you can make specific elements invisible to sighted users, while making them visible for a screen reader to read.
I am a web developer and am trying to use Windows Narrator, but can't get the hang of it. It won't read text on a page, and seems fickle in what labels and properties of controls and input fields it reads out. Is it because the narrator sucks or just my lack of skill?
I'm trying to test webpages with NVDA and having similar issues as you. Followed all the hotkey instructions, but I can't for the life of me make it jump to the mouse cursor in my browser and read all the text from that point onwards. Always starts from the very top of the page or just reads a paragraph and stops. So I'm guessing it's lack of practice of us sighted users?
It isn’t helpful when the speech of the thing is so fast I can’t understand it. Nor did you explain or define just what a screen reader is. Yu showed what yu did, not how I would begin to use it. I don’t have a windows key. I am on an iPad.

Great demo
Jason, thanks! What's your JAWS screen reader speed setting?
This man is a LEGEND.
Would this work on a telephone autodialer software?
Ironically the closed captions are grossly inaccurate. :(
They have been corrected.
does it read out all textual content or just tools,tabs and links?
It reads all the text.
What's the name of the voice package you are using?

@@kazerniel I'm too much of a rookie in this to know. But does NVDA at least read text (other than links and titles) on a page?
Even blind people prefer Firefox...
I wonder if he even uses a monitor when he's alone.
