Screen readers are a tool for testing accessibility because they confirm the flow of the page. This means that designing web pages and documents accessibly ensures that screen reader users can navigate the entire site or document using the keyboard. Hitting ‘Tab’ advances a user to the next item on a page. Screen reader users often move through a website or document by using only the keyboard, as this provides precise navigation. For this reason, using navigation styles like headings is part of creating accessible documents. Some screen readers allow the user to preview information, like the navigation bar or all the headings on a page, and skip the user to the desired section of the page. Typically, a screen reader will start at the top of a website or document and read any text (including alternate text for images). It is also helpful for people learning English (or another language) and for the elderly.

A screen reader is a piece of assistive technology that is frequently used by person with visual impairments or learning disabilities.
