Is there a Windows program or Google Chrome extension for a screen reader that is as simple and streamlined as iPhone OS voice over? (self.Blind)
submitted by VicDumb
I’ve been looking for the longest time for something like the iPhone voice over for windows desktop. A program as simple as clicking or highlighting a word or a paragraph and it just reads what I clicked or highlighted. Does there exist such a screen reader?

If you have some vision and just want to click to hear pieces. Magnifier added this.

ChromeVox Screen Reader is okay. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/screen-reader/kgejglhpjiefppelpmljglcjbhoiplfn?hl=en
The window Narrator is fairly clean.
Have you tried NVDA - I know it's a bit complicated at first but you can make it minimized.

I think the problem here is you are trying to match the simplicity of a touch-screen interface to a system designed to be operated via mouse and keyboard. VoiceOver reads what you touch by virtue of touch being the main method of operation.
both NVDA and JAWS have reasonable mouse and touch screen support, but totally blind power users tend to need many more specific keyboard shortcuts.

I think Microsoft edge's Immersive Reeader might do what you want :)
