Képernyolvasóbarát

Képernyolvasóbarát is a Hungarian term that translates to "screen reader friendly." It refers to content, websites, or applications that are designed and developed in a way that allows screen reader software to interpret and communicate the information effectively to visually impaired users. Screen readers are assistive technologies that read aloud the text displayed on a screen, describe on-screen elements, and provide navigation cues.

Achieving screen reader friendliness involves several key principles. Semantic HTML is crucial, meaning that elements are used according to their intended purpose (e.g., headings for structure, lists for related items, buttons for actions). Proper alt text for images is essential, providing a textual description of the visual content that can be conveyed by the screen reader. Clear and logical navigation is also vital, allowing users to understand their location on a page and move between different sections with ease. Forms should have associated labels, and interactive elements should be clearly identifiable and operable.

Websites and applications that are not screen reader friendly can present significant barriers for visually impaired users, making it difficult or impossible to access information, complete tasks, or engage with the content. Therefore, adhering to web accessibility guidelines, such as those outlined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), is fundamental to creating screen reader friendly experiences. This ensures a more inclusive digital environment for everyone.
