Kraanilugejatele is a term that refers to screen readers. Screen readers are assistive technologies that enable visually impaired or blind individuals to access and interact with digital content. They do this by interpreting the visual information displayed on a computer screen or mobile device and converting it into synthesized speech or braille output.

These software programs read aloud the text and interface elements of applications, websites, and operating systems, providing users with an auditory representation of what is being displayed. This includes reading menus, buttons, links, and the content of documents. Screen readers are essential for many users to navigate the internet, use productivity software, and communicate online.

Common screen readers include JAWS (Job Access With Speech), NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access), and VoiceOver (built into Apple devices). They work by interacting with the accessibility features of the operating system and applications, often using keyboard shortcuts or gestures to control navigation and interaction.

The development and accessibility of digital content are crucial for screen reader users. Websites and applications designed with accessibility in mind follow guidelines that ensure screen readers can properly interpret and convey information, making the digital world more inclusive. Without screen readers, many digital resources would be inaccessible to a significant portion of the population.
