Self-Voicing Browser

A self-voicing browser is a web browser that includes built-in text-to-speech capabilities, allowing it to read web content aloud without requiring a separate screen reader application. Unlike traditional screen readers that operate as standalone assistive technology layered on top of a browser, self-voicing browsers integrate speech output directly, giving them tighter control over how content is presented audibly. Examples include Fire Vox (a Firefox extension) and the SASWAT research browser. Self-voicing browsers can offer advantages in handling dynamic content because they have direct access to the browser DOM and can respond to page changes in real time.
