users who have lost their vision. They can
neither view the screen nor navigate using a
mouse. Thus screen readers offer several
capabilities like navigating the internet,
drafting a document, etc., but the most common
feature is Text-to-Speech. Screen readers can be
used to navigate Hulu to access its content.
Popular supported screen readers are JAWS
(PC/Mac), VoiceOver(Apple), TalkBack(Android),
Audio Guide (Roku), VoiceView (Amazon). If you
are using a screen-reader to navigate Hulu.com,
it is recommended to use the latest versions of
browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
