ChromeVox: built-in spoken feedback for Chrome OS
Blog post from Google Cloud
ChromeVox, unveiled at Google I/O 2011, is a built-in screen reader for Chrome OS, designed to enhance platform accessibility for web applications using web technologies like HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. As a Chrome extension, it utilizes Chrome's experimental APIs for text-to-speech and accessibility, enabling developers to customize user experiences by generating spoken messages and synchronizing with application focus. ChromeVox includes an interactive tutorial demonstrating how users interact with web pages via spoken feedback, allowing developers to test navigation techniques and incorporate ARIA properties for improved accessibility. While primarily aimed at end-users on Chrome OS, it also serves as a valuable tool for web developers across major platforms. The project invites feedback through its open-source website, with further resources available through the Accessibility help page and the Google Wiki page.
