Screenreader-Kompatibilität

Screen reader compatibility refers to the design and development of digital content so that it can be fully accessed using screen readers, software tools that convert text into speech or braille for people who are blind or visually impaired.

A screen-reader-compatible interface allows users to navigate, understand, and interact with content using a keyboard and audio cues alone.

Key Features of Compatibility

• Use of semantic HTML for headings, lists, and forms
• Descriptive alternative text for images
• Proper labeling of buttons and form fields
• Logical and consistent tab order

Why It Matters

Without compatibility, screen readers may misinterpret or skip critical content, leaving users without access to essential functions or information. Ensuring compatibility is essential under accessibility standards like WCAG, BITV, and EAA.
