What is Supernova screen reader?

The Supernova screen reader is a free, open source screen reading software designed for blind and vision impaired computer users. It allows them to navigate computers, access content, and interact with applications using text-to-speech, Braille displays, and keyboard shortcuts.

Supernova reads aloud text content on the computer screen and converts that text into synthesized speech using built-in voices. Users can control the rate, pitch, and volume of the text-to-speech. It also provides feedback through tones to signify various on-screen events such as errors or alerts. The software supports over 20 languages.

Some key features include:

• Text-to-speech engine with a variety of natural sounding voices
• Support for contracted and uncontracted Braille for Braille displays
• Scripting to customize Supernova's functionality
• Web compatibility to access online content
• Settings to adjust verbosity and feedback options

Supernova is designed as a lightweight, stable, and customizable screen reading solution for daily computer use by the blind and visually impaired. It runs exclusively on Windows computers and is available for free as an open source software. Supernova is developed by a community of visually impaired contributors and users.
