Only Read Aloud Content: Enhancing Accessibility for Screen Reader Users
Only Read Aloud Content is a free Chrome extension developed by ryankhart. As an add-on in the Browsers category under Add-ons & Tools, this program aims to improve accessibility for users who rely on screen readers. It is compatible with various Chromium web browsers, including Chrome, Chromium, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and Brave.
The main feature of Only Read Aloud Content is the addition of the aria-hidden=true attribute to non-content text found on supported websites such as Reddit and Old Reddit. By doing so, the extension allows screen readers to skip repetitive text that is not essential for the user's understanding of the webpage. This feature is particularly useful for individuals who use screen readers for convenience rather than out of necessity, enabling them to have a smoother browsing experience without unnecessary interruptions.
With its focus on enhancing accessibility and making web browsing more efficient for screen reader users, Only Read Aloud Content provides a valuable tool for those seeking a more streamlined reading experience on supported websites.
