  • Patent number: 11417132
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for determining a logical starting location to start providing (e.g., reading) content to a user. When the user navigates to a particular web page and/or email message, a screen reader can automatically read content associated with the web page and/or email message beginning at the determined logical starting location. A heuristic can be applied in order to determine the logical starting location. The heuristic can analyze information regarding user interface element(s) (e.g., property(ies) and/or attribute(s)) of the particular webpage and/or email message to find a logical location to start reading once the webpage and/or email message have loaded.
