IBM Home Page Reader (HPR) is a talking Web browser designed for people who are blind or have low vision. HPR can also be used by designers and developers with normal sight who need to test Web sites for accessibility. After a Web site or template has been created, a developer or designer can use Home Page Reader to check the site to ensure that it complies with accessibility requirements. Several techniques are available to verify that the content on the Web pages is accessible to people with disabilities. There's no extra hardware synthesizer to buy. The user simply interacts with the computer using a basic numeric keypad in a Microsoft Windows environment. Home Page Reader audibly communicates complete information from graphical user interface web pages to the user, including tables, frames, forms, and even alternate text for images.
