Screen reader parameter

  • Article

The screen reader parameter indicates whether an application should provide textual information in situations where it would otherwise present the information graphically.

This parameter is typically set by accessibility aids such as screen readers. Applications use the SPI_GETSCREENREADER and SPI_SETSCREENREADER flags with the SystemParametersInfo function to get and set the screen reader parameter.

Note

Narrator, the screen reader that is included with Windows, does not set the SPI_SETSCREENREADER or SPI_GETSCREENREADER flags.
