Information About Assistive Technologies

Assistive technologies (AT) are tools and devices that help individuals with disabilities access and use computers and the internet more effectively. These technologies can range from hardware devices like screen readers and specialized keyboards to software programs that provide text-to-speech and voice recognition capabilities. Here is an overview of some commonly used assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: Screen readers are software programs that convert text and other content on a computer screen into speech or Braille output. They are essential for individuals who are blind or have low vision. Popular screen readers include:
- JAWS (Job Access With Speech): A widely used screen reader for Windows operating systems.
- NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access): A free and open-source screen reader for Windows.
- VoiceOver: A built-in screen reader for macOS and iOS devices.
Screen Magnifiers: Screen magnifiers enlarge the content on a computer screen, making it easier for individuals with low vision to see. They can magnify text, images, and other screen elements. Examples include:
- ZoomText: A screen magnification and reading software for Windows.
- Magnifier (Windows): A built-in screen magnifier in Windows operating systems.
- Zoom (macOS): A built-in screen magnifier in macOS.
Voice Recognition Software: Voice recognition software allows users to control their computer and input text using their voice. This is helpful for individuals with motor impairments who have difficulty using a keyboard or mouse. Popular voice recognition programs include:
- Dragon NaturallySpeaking: A voice recognition software for dictating text and controlling computer applications.
- Windows Speech Recognition: A built-in voice recognition feature in Windows.
- Siri (macOS and iOS): A virtual assistant that can be used to control devices and input text.
Alternative Input Devices: Alternative input devices include specialized keyboards, mice, and switches that can be used by individuals with motor impairments. These devices allow users to interact with their computer in a way that is comfortable and accessible. Examples include:
- Ergonomic Keyboards: Keyboards designed to reduce strain and promote comfortable typing.
- Trackballs and Joysticks: Alternative pointing devices that can be used instead of a mouse.
- Switches: Devices that allow users to control their computer with a single switch, often used in conjunction with scanning software.

By understanding and utilizing assistive technologies, individuals with disabilities can access and engage with online content more effectively. Interview Ace is committed to ensuring that our website is compatible with a wide range of assistive technologies, providing an inclusive online experience for all users.
