A. B. C. D.A
The purpose of a screen reader is to assist individuals who are blind or visually impaired in accessing and navigating computer systems.
Answer A is correct because a screen reader is a software program that reads aloud the text displayed on the screen, including menus, dialog boxes, and other visual elements, and converts it into synthesized speech or Braille output. By doing so, it allows visually impaired individuals to interact with a computer and access digital information.
Answer B is incorrect because a screen reader does not deal with monitor configuration parameters; it is a software program that is independent of hardware configurations.
Answer C is incorrect because while speed reading software might display lines and markers to help users read faster, this is not the function of a screen reader.
Answer D is incorrect because managing and displaying e-books is a task for an e-reader application or similar software, not a screen reader.
