ChromeVox is the native screen reader for Chromebooks. The recent Chrome OS update has revamped ChromeVox to incorporate significant changes for Chromebook users who rely on a screenreader. According to the developers, the older version of ChromeVox is now called ChromeVox Classic (or simply “Classic”) and is still available, but the Classic will have a limited shelf-life. After updating to the new Chrome OS, you can switch between ChromeVox Classic and the new ChromeVox.
