Web Anywhere

Web Anywhere is a tool for the Visually Impaired and as far as the review goes it’s a very good screen reader.

WebAnywhere: A Screen Reader on the Go is a great online tool for people with no eye sight. It is a free tool and you don’t have download any software as it is a web based application.

WebAnywhere runs on any operating system as long as you got a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome. There is nothing to be downloaded and installed on your computer to get it working. Unlike other screen readers Web Anywhere is more easy to use and moreover there is no need to download or install. So any person who is visually impaired can enjoy the web like everybody else.
