Cobra Screenreader Software

Description

Cobra has set new standards in IT-accessibility solutions for blind and visually impaired people. Cobra simplifies Windows Vista and XP and Windows 7 when using magnification, speech or Braille bringing together all the functions of modern screen readers in a future-proof package. It can cleverly differentiate between what the user wants and doesn’t want and direct that information to the speech output, Braille display or both.

Read those unreadable web pages by activating the screen character recognition. Cobra is particularly powerful where other screen readers cannot cope. Typical examples are: telephonist applications and applications where multiple screens are used. Cobra screen readers come as: Speech & Braille, Speech & magnification or all three.

Please note which cobra version you may need.

1. Cobra Zoom - Magnification & Speech.
2. Cobra Braille - Braille & Speech.
3. Cobra Pro - Magnification, Speech and Braille.
