Screen Reader

Screen readers are tools that will convert all written information on the screen into spoken text. This feature will allow users with reduced vision and cognitive disabilities. It is also a great feature to make a game more accessible to younger audiences and might help to reduce play fatigue if the product features a lot of text.

The two more common implementation versions for this feature are either adding a button to each larger text prompt that will start the screen reader or simply activating the screen reader whenever something is highlighted meaning whenever a new window opens or the player selects a button.
