Learn how screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver aid visually impaired users, while speech recognition tools like Dragon NaturallySpeaking help those with mobility issues. Discover how platforms like Microsoft Teams integrate accessibility features, and real-time captioning tools like Otter.ai support hearing-impaired users.
