Screen reader choice is contentious: differing priorities and strong preferences are common.<br /> <br /> [[Microsoft Windows]] operating systems have included the Microsoft Narrator light-duty screen reader since Windows 2000.<br /> <br /> [[Apple Inc.]] Mac [[OS X]], [[iOS]], and tvOS include VoiceOver, a feature-rich screen reader, while [[Google]]'s Android includes Google Text-to-Speech, also on Android, Samsung devices have Samsung Text-to-Speech.<br /> <br /> The console-based Oralux Linux distribution ships with three console screen-reading environments: Emacspeak, Yasr, and Speakup.<br /> <br /> BlackBerry 10 devices such as the BlackBerry Z30 include a built-in screen reader. There is also a free screen reader application for older less powerful BlackBerry (BBOS7 and earlier) devices.<br /> <br /> There are also popular free and open source screen readers, such as the Orca for Unix-like systems and NonVisual Desktop Access for Windows.<br /> <br /> == Commercial products ==<br /> <br /> The most widely used screen readers are separate commercial products.<br /> <br /> Prominent examples in the English-speaking market include: <br /> <br /> * [[JAWS]] from Freedom Scientific<br /> * [[Window-Eyes]] from GW Micro<br /> * Dolphin Supernova by Dolphin<br /> * System Access from Serotek<br /> * ZoomText Magnifier/Reader from AiSquared<br /> <br /> The opensource screen reader NVDA is gaining popularity.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Web accessibility]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader Screen reader] @ Wikipedia <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Human factors]]<br /> [[Category:Web accessibility]]</div>
