What Is A Screen Reader

The term, "Screen reader", refers to a piece of software on a computing device that is capable of examining the screen of the device and relaying that information to someone who is blind or visually impaired through the use of synthetic speech or Braille. Screen readers exist on desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and even gaming consoles.

To ensure that you are not creating a child trigger, simply arrow up to the top of the list. You'll hear the announcement, "Triggers". When you do so, and you click the, "Add Item button, you are guaranteed to create a trigger that is not grouped under one of your previous ones.
