Re: Screenreaders for the blind

This depends on how you set your screen reader.
You can set to hear only some punctuation, most punctuation, all
punctuation, etc.

I use a screen reader because I am blind.

Interesting MP3 from a person who uses a screenreader.  He narrates as he
loads an example website using his screenreader program.  Really interesting
to "hear" a website load:

It's funny that if you use a lot of contractions in your text, the
screenreader actually reads it as "apostrophe"

Example:

Your text reads, "I can't stand it!"

But the screenreader interprets it as:

"I can apostrophe t stand it!"
