Screen access programs

Screen readers help users with visual impairments to interact with web content and the Yandex Browser interface. These programs read everything on the screen aloud, and users control them with gestures and keyboard shortcuts. Press F6 to access all SmartBar features and quickly switch between popups.

Yandex Browser for desktop supports the following screen readers:

Operating system	Program
MS Windows	NVDA
	JAWS (paid license)
	Narrator (embedded)* How do I start a screen reader? Press + Ctrl + Enter.
macOS	VoiceOver (embedded) How do I start a screen reader? Press ⌘ + F5. Click System Preference → Accessibility → Vision → VoiceOver.
Linux	Orca (embedded) How do I start a screen reader? Using the Orca command line. Click Settings → Accessibility. Press Super (the key next to the left Alt key, it often features the Windows logo) + Alt + S.

* We can’t guarantee full Yandex Browser compatibility with all screen readers. Contact us if you notice that JAWS or Narrator doesn't work with Yandex Browser.

Yandex Browser for mobile supports TalkBack (for Android devices) and VoiceOver (for iOS devices) screen readers.
