    Hello!

    I have not been able to find any plugins like this with screen reader available for folks who are blind. Do you have any plans of incorporating that? Or can you point me in the direction of a plugin that has everything this one does, plus screen reader?

    Thanks.

    There are many reasons that a screen reader is not and should not be included in a web site plug-in. First, because the vast majority of users who need a screen reader need it on all web sites. Second, because those users also need a screen reader *before* they get to your website, in order to be able to use their operating system and browser.

    The main exception would be users who only need a screen reader because it helps them absorb large bodies of text, but do not need it for navigating or orientation. But even in that case, there are free screen readers available, and since those are installed at the operating system level, they’ll be available for all sites, not just yours.

    NVDA for Windows, VoiceOver is built-in to Mac OS, and Orca is available for Linux.

    It’s almost certainly the case that you don’t need this.
