Turn Firefox into a screen reader with Fire Vox

Turn Firefox into a screen reader with Fire Vox, suggests Roger Johansson of 456 Berea St. He talks about his experience with Fire Vox, the free open-source screen reader extension for Firefox. He has successfully used it on his Mac (after a few unsuccessful attempts), but Fire Vox can also run on Windows and Linux.

The free price tag removes any excuse a developer or writer might have for not testing their web-based material with a screen reader.
