Screen Reader (Built-In) (Generic)

Two images side-by-side: the first is of a computer screen with a large sound icon; the second image is of two iPhones, with speech bubbles indicating that VoiceOver is being used. The first iPhone's speech bubble reads, "Mail. One new item. Double tap to open." The second phone is running the camera app, and the speech bubble says, "Photo button. Switches camera to video."

Product Description: 

A screen reader allows a person who cannot see the screen to read content and navigate the Internet as well as their devices. Screen readers work by using voiceover or speech synthesizers to read aloud what is on a user's screen. Users can also navigate menus, search for words on a page, and perform hundreds of other advanced functions using keyboard commands.
