A screen reader recites text that appears on the computer screen. It also reads non-textual information, such as button labels or image descriptions in the application, provided in accessibility tags or attributes during authoring.
As a Dreamweaver user, you can use a screen reader to assist you in creating your web pages. The screen reader starts reading in the upper-left corner of the Document window.
Dreamweaver supports JAWS for Windows, from Freedom Scientific (www.freedomscientific.com), and Window-Eyes screen readers, from GW Micro (www.gwmicro.com).
