That's right, Angelo.


It's called ChromeVox and it's built into the operating system.  I got along pretty well with it and there are apps for all common tasks.

Actually, they run the Chromium OS.  The newer ones can run an Android emulator on top of Chromium.

They are Android machines.  How well the screen-reader it uses works is something others can address.

I know nothing about Chromebooks other than they can be bought for a
low price.  Are they Windows machines and will NVDA or JAWS work on
them?  I would only need it for email and web surfing.

Thanks!
