Blind users already have their favourite screen readers. There is almost zero need for custom audio summary or alike features. Those are feature from sighted people for sighted people. But they have almost zero relevance to people relying on accessibility.
- Abishek_Muthian 7y agoThat makes perfect sense, thanks. Are there screen readers capable of providing summary if needed?
- mlang23 7y agoTo answer that, I'd need to know what you actually mean by summary. Most screen readers present an overview of the number of HTML elements in a page when it just loaded. Something like "5 headings and 28 paragraphs".
- Abishek_Muthian 7y agoBy summary I meant, summarising an entire web article into couple of sentences.
- mlang23 7y agoOh, you are indeede refering to automatic text crippling? No, thanks, I wouldn't touch such a thing. That is not what accessibility is about.
