For example, they recognize user speech, read aloud text on pages, allow keyboard-only computer control, provide audio notifications, and offer high-contrast mode options. - [Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility) - [macOS](https://support.apple.com/accessibility) - [Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/302159/) {% endcut %} {% cut "**Special browser settings**" %} Modern browsers have built-in assistive technologies, such as page and font zoom, sound captchas, text-to-speech readers on sites (including voice descriptions of videos, pictures, banners, and buttons), video subtitles, user speech recognition, interactive prompts in the interface, and other accessibility features. Browsers also support screen reader software. - [Yandex Browser](https://yandex.uz/support/common/en/accessibility/ayabrowser.md) - [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/accessibility/) - [Mozilla Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/accessibility-features-firefox) - [Microsoft Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/accessibility-features-in-microsoft-edge-4c696192-338e-9465-b2cd-bd9b698ad19a) {% endcut %} {% cut "**Screen readers**" %} Screen reader software allows people with low vision to read from a computer screen using touch or voice control. The program reads aloud everything on the screen, and the user controls it with touch gestures and keyboard shortcuts. Screen readers aren't built into browsers: you need to install them yourself. Some screen readers are built into the operating system. Select the program supported by your browser. {% list tabs %} - For computers #| || **Program** | **Operating system** | **Browser compatibility** || || [JAWS](http://freedomscientific.com/Products/Blindness/Jaws) (proprietary license) | MS Windows | Yandex 14.12 and higher Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome Microsoft Edge || || [NVDA](http://www.nvaccess.org/) | MS Windows | Yandex 14.12 and higher Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome Microsoft Edge || || [ZoomText](https://www.freedomscientific.com/products/software/zoomtext/) (proprietary license) | MS Windows | Yandex 14.12 and higher Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome || || [Orca](https://orca.gnome.org/) | Linux | Yandex 21.3.3 and higher Mozilla Firefox || || [VoiceOver](https://www.apple.com/uk/accessibility/vision/) | macOS (built-in) {% cut "**How to start the program**" %} Use the keyboard shortcut **⌘ Cmd** + **F5** {% endcut %} | Yandex 21.3.0 and higher Safari || |# - For smartphones #| || **Program** | **Operating system** | **Browser compatibility** || || [TalkBack](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.marvin.talkback) | Android | Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome || || [VoiceOver](https://www.apple.com/uk/accessibility/vision/) | iOS (built-in) | Yandex 21.3.0 and higher Safari || |# {% endlist %} {% endcut %} {% cut "**Page zoom and font size**" %} Page zoom and font size in the browser can be adjusted to make it easier for visually impaired people to read from the screen.
