People with vision impairments typically use screen readers to browse the Web. To
facilitate non-visual browsing, web sites must be made accessible to screen
readers, i.e., all the visible elements in the web site must be readable by the
screen reader. But even if web sites are accessible, screen-reader users may not
find them easy to use and/or easy to navigate. For example, they may not be able
to locate the desired information without having to listen to a lot of irrelevant
contents. These issues go beyond web accessibility and directly impact web
usability. Several techniques have been reported in the accessibility literature
for making the Web usable for screen reading. This paper is a review of these
techniques. Interestingly, the review reveals that understanding the semantics of
the web content is the overarching theme that drives these techniques for
improving web usability.
