Screen reader
Screen reader technologies are primarily focused on software application interfaces, help systems, and a
variety of online documents. However, in the case where a screen reader cannot read documents, the
document must first go through a conversion process. One solution converts Adobe PDF files into a format
that is read by the screen reader applications. This solution is a Web-based service provided by Adobe
Systems Incorporated. Through http://www.adobe.com, Adobe PDF documents can be converted to HTML
or plain text in many languages. One conversion option converts PDF documents on the Internet. A second
option enables users to submit the URL of an Adobe PDF file through e-mail to convert it to HTML or ASCII
text. Adobe PDF files on a local storage device or local area network (LAN) also can be converted by
attaching the Adobe PDF file to an e-mail message.
To download a screen reader application, do the following:
1. From the main Home screen, touch the Android Settings icon
applications icon
2. Touch Accessibility. A message box pops up to ask you to download a screen reader.
3. Touch OK and then follow the instructions on the screen to download the application.
