For millions of people, using the web does not involve looking at a screen. Screen readers turn text into speech and allow users to shop, read, learn, and navigate using sound alone. India alone has around 8 million blind individuals, representing a significant share of the global blind population. Most modern laptops, smartphones, and tablets already include built in screen readers, yet many digital experiences remain difficult or frustrating to use without sight. This session explores what it actually means to browse the web using a screen reader. Through real world examples, it shows how screen readers work, how users interact with websites, and where common design and development choices either help or hinder accessibility. The goal is to help participants better understand non visual web use and build experiences that work for everyone.
