More convenient for blind and visually impaired people to browse the web

Computer Shop News: According to MSDN IE official blog: Internet Explorer 11 can rely on screen-assisted reading functions, such as Windows Narrator, to help blind and visually impaired users to browse the web more easily. With the improved editing and input functions of IE11, the screen-assisted reading function can better inform the user of the selected content editing area, and it is more convenient to input the language of East Asia using the Input Method Editor (IME).

Screen-assisted readers provide users with better notification mode

IE11 enhances editing email capabilities and online web document application functionality through screen-assisted notifications. Prompt the user to change the text information automatically and manually.

Here are a few examples of the new IE11 notifications:

• AutoCorrect: Internet Explorer automatically corrects misspelled words. For example, if a user types in English in ldquo;teh”, it will be corrected <;the". And IE11 adds a new notification, so the screen's auxiliary reading feature can prompt the user to "automatically correct" the situation being processed.

• Backspace: When a user types, the screen-assisted reader announces each keystroke. However, after listening to the "Backspace" prompt, it is not particularly helpful, because it is difficult for users to know if any mail has been deleted. IE11 can notify the screen reader to inform the user which email has been deleted.

• Formatting: When reading or editing an email or other web content, the user needs to know the format of the information, not just the original text. IE11 provides a more detailed notification feature for screen readers, so users can better know what they are reading or editing. For example, Microsoft Narrative Read “bold” and <;to bold” let users know that the font of a piece of text has been bolded.

Better Input East Asian Language Features

The Input Method Editor (IME) supports the input of East Asian languages ​​using traditional English keyboards. For example, when using Japanese IME, the user can type a Japanese character pronunciation (“su”), and the input method displays a candidate list of corresponding Japanese characters (す). With IE11, the screen-assisted reader can read the candidate character set for the user.

Summary

IE continues to improve the way web access is available to all users. With these new features, users can more easily edit emails or other documents using IE when using screen-assisted readers. Try the Microsoft Narrator feature and the new IE11 browser built into the Windows 8.1 platform. We look forward to your feedback.
