Fire Vox Screen Reader

jamesicus · 02-26-2009, 01:01 PM

I am sure many Web Authors (especially those committed to Web Accessibility) are familiar with, even presently using, Fire Vox -- A Screen Reading Extension for Firefox. This is a full featured audio Screen Reader that functions flawlessly as a Firefox Browser extension. It is accompanied by an excellent online manual and tutorials. Some of the designated function keys may have to be reassigned (very easy to do via the tool bar) for compatability with existing key board functions. The Fire Vox package (including download, installation and online manual) is available at The Fire Vox Information page.

The speaking style and pronunciation of audio screen readers may take a little getting used too at first, but the text is readily understood with a little familiarity. Screen readers are also invaluable to Web authors for quick and easy proof reading of web page content.

Good feature introduced by Firefox. It sounds great and am sure that the usability will be equally good. Well, thanks for the info and the link...!!!
