Page Reader (HPR) is a spoken on-ramp to the Information Highway for
computer users who are blind or visually impaired.
This innovative product provides unprecedented Web access by quickly,
easily, and efficiently speaking web page information. HPR provides a
simple, easy-to-use interface for navigating and manipulating web page
elements and utilizes the tremendous capabilities of IBM's ViaVoice
Outloud text-to-speech synthesizer for speaking.
Using the keyboard to navigate, a person who is blind or who has a
visual impairment can hear the full range of web page content provided
in a logical, clear, and understandable manner.
Home Page Reader can speak text, frames, image and text links, alternate
text for images and image maps, form elements, graphics descriptions,
text in column format, and data input fields. It even includes special
table navigation features that allow users to understand even the most
complex tables, such as television listings.
