What is a screen reader?

A Screen Reader job typically refers to a role that involves testing and improving digital accessibility for people who use screen readers, which are assistive technologies that convert on-screen text into speech or braille. Professionals in this role often work as accessibility testers, consultants, or quality assurance specialists, ensuring that websites and applications comply with accessibility standards such as WCAG. They may collaborate with developers, designers, and content creators to identify and fix accessibility barriers.
