==Software== The software <!--that controls the display is called a [[screen reader]]. It -->gathers the content of the screen from the [[operating system]], converts it into braille characters and sends it to the display. Screen readers for graphical operating systems are especially complex, because graphical elements like windows or slidebars have to be interpreted and described in text form. Modern operating systems usually have an [[application programming interface|API]] to help screen readers obtain this information, such as [[UI Automation]] (UIA) for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[VoiceOver]] for [[macOS]] and [[iOS]], and [[AT-SPI]] for [[GNOME]].
