VoiceOver Alternatives

    VoiceOver is described as 'revolutionary built-in screen reader that’s more than a text-to-speech tool. It tells you exactly what’s on your screen and talks you through actions like editing a video, building a presentation, or quickly navigating between apps' and is an app in the OS & Utilities category. There are five alternatives to VoiceOver for Windows and Linux. The best alternative is NVDA, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like VoiceOver are JAWS (Paid), Microsoft Narrator (Free), Orca Screen Reader (Free, Open Source) and Thunder (Free).
