skjáhjálp

Skjáhjálp is an Icelandic term that translates to "screen helper" or "screen assistance." It refers to various assistive technologies and features designed to help individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities interact with digital displays. This can include software and hardware solutions that modify how information is presented on a screen to make it more accessible.

Common examples of skjáhjálp include screen readers, which convert on-screen text into synthesized speech or braille. Magnification software is another type, enlarging portions of the screen to make small text or details more visible. Color contrast adjustments and customizable display settings also fall under the umbrella of skjáhjálp, allowing users to modify the appearance of the interface for better readability.

The goal of skjáhjálp is to ensure that digital content and interfaces are usable by a wider range of people, promoting digital inclusion. These tools are often integrated into operating systems and web browsers, or available as standalone applications. The development and implementation of skjáhjálp are important aspects of accessibility efforts in the digital world.
