Abstract(in English)	For the visually-impaired and blind, we have developed a Windows screenreader which works on Windows Version 3.1. Our program is based on the key-driven and speech-output method in which Windows standard key assignments are made use of. To evaluate this software, its copies were distributed and used by visually-impaired and blind people. The results of the evaluations showed than the screenreader should have the functions such as (1)the user can change the speed of the synthesized speech, (2)the user can skip the current speech output, and (3)the user can stop the speech output altogether. In the current development of a screenreader which runs on Windows 95, we have been dealing with these requirements.
