Now, web pages and homework questions can be read with screen reader software in all major web browsers (<a href=\"https:\/\/corpsite.testing.lyryx.com\/resolve\/index.php?\/Knowledgebase\/Article\/View\/140\/0\/using-a-screen-reader-with-lyryx-assignments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">see more<\/a>).
