ChromeVox

by Google

Free

Built into the operating system. Nothing to buy.

Setup with instructions ChromeVox is built into the Chromebook and turns on from settings, so a family member can set it up with Google's instructions. Learning the keyboard commands takes practice, though, and that is why it fits guided setup rather than self-serve.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

ChromeVox is the screen reader built into ChromeOS. It reads what is on a Chromebook screen out loud, so someone who can't see the display well can still move through apps, menus, and web pages. It comes with the Chromebook, so there is nothing to buy or install. Chromebook accessibility settings can sync across your devices when you sign in to your Google Account, which saves you from setting them up again on a new machine or after a reset. The page for this product mostly covers Chromebook accessibility settings in general, so check the ChromeVox help pages for the exact keyboard commands and options.
