This page sounds the way the browser does. Turn on the switch below and every section you reach will be marked by the browser’s own short motif — the same one it plays while repairing a page. Nothing plays until you ask. The number keys 1 to 9 play the motifs on their own, and there is a full score further down.

Off by default. Your screen reader keeps talking — these are short chords under it.

Your screen reader is fine. The sites are broken.

You install it, you open any site, and the page arrives repaired — labelled buttons, real headings, a focus order that makes sense. Legato reads it out itself, in a voice of its own, or hands it to the screen reader you already use. You configure nothing.

Read it instead

This is Legato — a browser that repairs broken websites on your own computer, and reads them out to you. Inside it is an artificial intelligence of our own, trained on thousands of live pages. It gives a name to every button and every image that has none, adds headings where the developer never made any, puts the focus back into the order you would expect, and clears away the windows that steal your place on the page. All of that happens on your machine, in the moment before you hear it: your browsing goes nowhere, and we never see the pages you open. Who does the reading is your choice, and the browser asks on the very first run. Legato has a voice of its own — twenty-two languages, forty-six voices, free, downloaded once, and speaking from this computer rather than from the internet. Or keep the screen reader you have always used, NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver or Orca, with your voice, your speed, your shortcuts and your braille display. One shortcut moves between the two at any moment, in both directions, and we never switch your reader off. You can also ask the page questions. What is on this page. What does this form want from me. Read me this table. Say that in plain words. Describe this picture. Everything the browser does without the AI is free, for ever, with no account and no key. Install it, and your bookmarks, your history and the tabs you have open right now come across from Chrome with a single button.

Three things worth knowing straight away

It reads aloud itself — or your screen reader does
Legato has a voice of its own: switch it on and listen, with nothing else to install. And if you have lived with NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver for years, keep them — the browser repairs the page and your reader speaks it. One shortcut moves between the two, both ways.
Who speaks, and how you choose
Your history stays on your computer
The repair happens where you are, and your history is never collected. Switch the AI repair on and one thing does travel: the name of the site — «example.com» — never the address of the page.
What is sent, and when
The move takes one button
Bookmarks, history and the tabs you have open right now come across from Chrome on first launch.
What comes across

The browser reads it aloud itself

On the first run Legato asks two questions: who speaks, and how much you want to be told. Switch on the browser’s own voice and it starts reading straight away — nothing else to install, nothing to pay for. Keep your screen reader instead and nothing changes: that is what a plain “Continue” does. Shift+Cmd+L moves between the two at any moment, in both directions. The second question has three answers, and you hear each one say a real phrase before you pick it. Detailed says about three times as much: it names the key that undoes what just happened and tells you where you have landed — what a child, or anyone on their first day, actually needs. Brief says the fact and stops. The middle one is the browser as it was. You can change your mind at any time in the settings.

Twenty-two languages and forty-six voices — every language of the browser except Japanese and Chinese. The voice runs on this computer and sends nothing anywhere.
Free, and downloaded once — sixty to a hundred and ten megabytes, depending on the voice.
Where a language has several voices, you choose, and you hear the choice at once.
Speed from 0.7× to 3×, and a short pause before speech so fast keys stop stuttering.
A braille display keeps working: one setting sends every phrase to it in letters too.

We never switch your screen reader off. Before the browser suggests it, it asks you to confirm that you can hear us — and says plainly what it does not take over: a screen reader reads your whole computer, Legato reads one browser.

And the mouse can talk

For most people who work by ear the mouse is the piece of plastic to the right of the keyboard. It does not have to be. A pointer knows exactly one thing a keyboard does not — where it is on the page — and once the browser says that out loud, the whole surface becomes something you can feel your way around. All of this is off until you switch it on, and it speaks in Legato’s own voice.

The edges of the page knock back
Reach the edge and you hear a dull knock, like walking into a wall, with an orange border around the page for people who see shapes but not text. It sounds like a small thing and it is not: before this, a pointer at the edge of the page felt exactly the same as a pointer in the middle of nothing. You could push against the end of the world and never know. The wall lets go only once you move well away from it, so it does not chatter at you while you work.
Everything the browser can do, on the right button
Press the right button and a ring of circles opens in the MIDDLE of the window — describe this image, read this block, the page at a glance, what this form wants, check the form before sending, read the table, where am I, what was repaired here. In the middle on purpose: every browser opens its menu at the pointer, and that is useless to somebody who does not know where their pointer is. The wheel turns the ring one item per click, like a revolver cylinder, and the left button presses whatever is selected — wherever your hand happens to be resting. You never have to aim at anything. Hold the right button and turn, and the item you are on moves around the circle and stays there, so what you use every day ends up under your thumb.
The wheel walks the page instead of scrolling it
Turn the wheel and you move to the next thing on the page, and the browser names it. Turn it sideways, or hold Shift, and you change what it steps by: everything, headings, links, regions, form fields. The two side buttons jump between regions. Hold the left button and draw a frame around part of the page, and the walk stays inside what you drew — which is how you read one table on a page full of them. It is not the wheel scrolling. It is the wheel walking.
The pointer says what it is resting on
Rest the pointer on something and the browser reads it. Sweep quickly across the page and it stays quiet — it waits about a fifth of a second of stillness before speaking, because a phrase that will be cut off a moment later should never have been started. Cross into another region and it names the region, so you learn the shape of a page by moving across it rather than walking it end to end.

Both switches live in the reading section of the settings, and both are off by default: a mouse lying untouched on a desk should not move your place in the page because somebody bumped the table. They belong to Legato’s own voice — with your screen reader speaking instead, it keeps its own pointer behaviour, and the right button still opens the same menu as a plain list you walk with the arrows. Trackpad, trackball and an ordinary mouse all work, and the wheel step has three sizes, because a trackpad sends many tiny movements where a wheel sends one firm click.

And it works with the screen reader you already use

Nothing here asks you to give yours up. Legato repairs the page so that the reader you already know — your voice, your speed, your shortcuts — can do its job. The whole browser is usable that way, from the first tab to the last setting, and moving between the two voices takes one shortcut.

NVDA and JAWS on Windows
VoiceOver on macOS
Orca on Linux
A braille display, through your reader

This is not an overlay widget

Overlays sit on a website and promise the site owner that accessibility is handled. They are not on your side, they cannot be turned off by you, and they often make things worse. Legato is the opposite: it runs on your computer, it answers to you, and the site never knows it exists.

Four things it does that you would not think to ask for

None of these is a setting you have to find. They happen on the page you are standing on — this is simply the only place they are written down.

Ask what it just repaired on this page
The browser used to tell you in one spoken sentence — «forty-six repairs, three the site did not name» — and one sentence is all it should ever be. But three numbers and a list of names do not fit into a sentence, and there was no way to ask for more. Now there is a page that answers properly: how many controls were repaired and what each of them is called now, how many the site left with nothing to build a name from, and how many the browser did not reach in the time it had. The first thing it tells you is how much of the site it is talking about — open a shop, repair it without scrolling, and the honest answer is that a fifth of the page had been drawn at all; scroll to the end, repair again, and the report grows. The names live in this browser only: the site itself is never touched, for you or for anybody else.
And send that report to whoever built the site
The same report saves as a single self-contained page you can attach to a letter: what was wrong, grouped by the rule that caught it, and then every control with the name it was given and WHO wrote that name — a rule, the dictionary of icon fonts, the shared memory of repairs other people’s browsers have already made, or the AI. That last column is the point of the file. A name a model invented is a different kind of fact from a name derived from the page, and the person about to copy one into their markup is entitled to know which is which. The file is in English, carries nothing executable, and is itself built to be read by a screen reader — a report about unreadable markup that cannot be read would say more about us than about the site.
A page written in two languages is read in two voices
Nobody marks up the foreign paragraph inside a page — not the shop with an English product name in a Ukrainian description, not the news site quoting a sentence in Greek. Your reader keeps its own voice and spells the other language out letter by letter. Legato finds those islands itself and hands each one to the voice that can pronounce it. The hard half is knowing when NOT to: a single foreign word inside a sentence is an inclusion, not an island, and cutting the phrase in two to switch voices mid-breath is worse than reading it plainly. So it switches for a paragraph and stays put for a word.
Your keyboard, and nothing that pops out of the browser
Two things that were quietly broken for anybody outside a Latin keyboard, and one rule. Browse mode says H for headings, K for links, D for regions — and if your keyboard types Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Greek, Hindi or Japanese, not one of those keys did anything at all: not the jump, not even «no headings on this page». It listens for the KEY now rather than for the letter your layout would have printed, and still gets AZERTY and Dvorak right, where the key marked A is not the key called A. The rule: everything the browser opens stays inside the browser and is read by its own voice. A system window is not «inconvenient» for someone who switched their screen reader off because we promised to speak — it is silence in the middle of the work, with no way out of it.

What changes on the sites you visit

Legato repairs the page on your own computer, before it reaches your reader. Buttons get names, headings appear, focus goes where it should. Free, no account — and your bookmarks come with you.

What gets in your way online?

Pick as many as you like, or skip it — nothing is hidden either way.

Your screen reader stays yours
Legato repairs the page so the reader you already know can do its job — and when you would rather it spoke itself, it has a voice of its own.
You find out what is in a picture
An image with no description gets one, out loud, on request — including the ones that carry the actual information, like a scanned letter or a price table.
Zoom that does not break the page
Text gets larger and the page reflows to fit — no horizontal scrolling, no overlapping columns, no menu that swallows half the screen.
A calm version of a noisy page
Animation stops, banners fold away, line length and spacing settle down. What is left is the text you came for.
Everything reachable from the keyboard
Targets get bigger, custom controls answer to the keyboard, and a stray click is easier to undo than to make.
No more being trapped in a dialog
Pop-ups announce themselves, Escape closes them, and the focus comes back where it was instead of the top of the document.
Sound you can see
Captions where a site has them, visible signals where the site only beeps, and the browser’s own motifs mirrored on screen.
Short motifs instead of long sentences
The browser tells you what happened with a short sound on top of the speech, so your reader is not interrupted. Turn them off in one switch.
The second visit is instant and free
A repaired page is remembered. Coming back — or someone else coming after you — costs nothing and happens immediately.

Ask the page a question

What is on this page?
What does this form want from me?
Read me this table.
Say that in plain words.
Describe this picture.

The answer comes aloud — in the browser’s own voice, or in your reader’s. It never agrees to anything for you: it closes a cookie banner, it does not accept it.

Everything you already have moves over

Changing browsers is expensive when you listen to the web: the geography of every page has to be learned again. So the move takes one button, on first launch.

Bookmarks, history and the tabs you have open right now come across from Chrome.
Nothing is retyped and nothing is lost.

The browser speaks in more than words

“Page updated, twelve fixes applied” takes your screen reader three seconds and interrupts whatever you were listening to. The same meaning as a short motif takes a fifth of a second and interrupts nothing. Legato is a musical term; these are the browser’s motifs. Press a row to hear it, or use the number keys.

Nothing plays on its own. Every sound also has words — and a shape, for anyone who will not hear it.

When you hear it: a page has opened and the browser has started on it
What the screen reader says at the same moment: nothing — this one answers before the speech does
When you hear it: a site has just been fixed
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “Page repaired, 12 fixes”
When you hear it: you have been here before — fixed instantly, free
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “Familiar page, repaired”
When you hear it: a long job has started — the browser heard you
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “Repair in progress”
When you hear it: the AI repair is done
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “Done, page repaired”
When you hear it: the page was already fine
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “This page is already fine”
When you hear it: a search or an element found nothing
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “Not found”
When you hear it: something failed
What the screen reader says at the same moment: the error itself
When you hear it: the browser needs a decision from you
What the screen reader says at the same moment: the question itself
When you hear it: a form went through
What the screen reader says at the same moment: the site’s own answer
When you hear it: a window took the focus
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “Dialog, focus inside”
When you hear it: the focus came back to the page
What the screen reader says at the same moment: “Dialog closed”
When you hear it: a tab has gone — the sound belongs to the one that left, not the next one
What the screen reader says at the same moment: the name of the tab you have landed on
When you hear it: the daily AI repairs are used up, or there is no network
What the screen reader says at the same moment: what is unavailable, and until when
When you hear it: something you asked for has left this computer — describing a picture, explaining a page, reading a form
What the screen reader says at the same moment: nothing yet — this sounds before the wait, not after it

A fifth of a second of sound instead of 3 seconds of speech — on top of the speech, not instead of it.

Your four notes

In a room where several computers are working, a beep from the machine next to you sounds exactly like your own — and you turn towards every one of them. So the browser signs its own results with four notes that are yours. First “this is me”, then “here is what happened”. It signs the four things worth turning for: a repair finished, a repair failed, a form went through, and a question waiting for you.

Your name

You are not composing anything. Type a name and the browser offers five ways it could sound — listen, and keep the one you recognise as yours.

Your callsign: BAAF

Exactly what the browser plays when a repair finishes: your notes, a gap of 70 milliseconds, then “Finished”.

Somebody else’s
Yours
Somebody else’s

Three results, one after another. One of them is yours, and you will know which without being told.

A callsign is four letters, so it survives being said out loud: dictate it over the phone, put it in an email signature, read it off a forum post. The letters ARE the notes — nothing is downloaded, no account is needed, and nothing of yours reaches us.

A callsign ending on E or G runs into the first note of the motif it introduces, so those variants come last. You can still take one — it only sounds a shade muddier.

Nothing plays on its own. Your callsign travels with your settings to another computer, and it is one switch away from silence.

Postcards you can hear

Every postcard and every meme on the internet is text baked into pixels. A blind person can neither read the one they were sent nor send one back — not «inconvenient», but impossible. Birthdays, holidays, the running joke in a group chat: all of it goes past. Legato changes the unit: not a pixel, but a LINE you can walk through with arrow keys and come back to.

Pick a mood
One list, plain words. The picture is chosen to match it.
Write the lines
One field. A line break is a new line of the postcard — and a new stop for the screen reader.
Hear it as they will
The main button is not a preview. It is the only proof-read available to someone who cannot look at their own postcard.

Two postcards — the sheet, and the same thing out loud

On the left is what a sighted person sees. Press play and you hear exactly the same postcard: one set of data, two renderings. No sound? You have still read it.

Birthday · Mood: quiet joy
two balloons rising into a night sky, and their warm colour still holds the light
Happy birthday
I hope this year is kinder than the last one.
And louder, in the good way.
— Nadia
Sender’s callsign — NDA.
Thank you · Mood: warm, plain
a white mug of tea in the morning, the steam still going up
Thank you for Tuesday
You made no fuss about it.
And that is exactly why it helped.
— Marek
Sender’s callsign — MRK.

One picture, and about twenty thousand behind it

The catalogue holds 1 479 named pictures in 18 families — cakes, balloons, weather, flowers, mugs, landscapes, awards. On top of that: 42 ready-made moods, and a face you assemble yourself from four axes — 16 pairs of eyes, 13 mouths, 16 add-ons, 6 tones. Close to twenty thousand faces. And not one of them is shown as a wall of thumbnails: every picture carries its description as visible text, so the sighted and the blind pick by exactly the same thing.

The format is ours, and it opens in this browser

A postcard is saved as a .qcard, and it is plain text — not a web page. That is deliberate: we are not going to teach anybody to open HTML that arrived from someone else. The picture travels inside the card, embedded, with no link to any server — a link would break the card without a connection, and would tell a stranger that it had been opened. And a picture with no description does not get in at all: the format rejects an empty description, a one-word excuse and a file name. The sheet is built by Legato itself, which is why a .qcard is read in Legato — whole, line by line, by any screen reader.

Installing it

Download Legato for your computer — macOS, Windows or Linux.
Open it. The first question is who speaks: the browser’s own voice, or the screen reader you already use — which picks it up like any other window, with nothing to switch on.
The language follows your system, because the voice does too.
That is it. The free repairs work immediately, with no account and no key.

A two-minute walkthrough opens on first launch. It is a suggestion, not a wall — Escape leaves it, and it can be replayed any time.

What happens on the first launch

You are downloading a browser from us directly, not from a store, so both systems will say something the first time. Here is exactly what, and which button to press.

On Windows

The installer puts the browser in your own user folder and never asks for an administrator password.

Windows shows a blue window headed “Windows protected your PC”, and the only button on it says “Don’t run”. Do not stop there. Press the link “More info” first, and the second button appears — “Run anyway”. That is the one you need.

Where that window names the publisher it will say “Unknown publisher”, and that is expected right now: our signing certificate has been bought and is going through the certificate authority’s identity checks. Until it is issued there is nothing to sign the file with. The Mac build is already signed and notarised by Apple; Windows is the one still waiting.

So the name is not what tells you this file is ours — the number below does. It is the checksum of the exact file we published: run the command, compare, and you have checked the file itself rather than a label on it.

On a Mac

The image opens with Legato on the left and a shortcut to Applications on the right: drag the first onto the second, and that is the install.

The first time you start it, macOS asks once whether to open an app downloaded from the Internet. The buttons are “Open” and “Cancel”, and “Open” is the default one — Return presses it. The question is asked once and never comes back.

There are two files, one per processor, and the wrong one will not start at all. If you do not know which Mac you have: Apple menu, “About This Mac” — the line says either “Apple M…” or “Intel”. With VoiceOver, that window reads out on its own.

Check that the file is the one we published

The number below belongs to that exact file. Run the command, and compare what it prints with what is written here: if they match, nothing was changed on the way to you.

Your history stays on your computer

Pages are repaired on your own computer, and your history never reaches us. Three things do travel, and none of them without your say-so. An AI feature — describing an image, going through a form, retelling a page — sends that one image or that one text through our server to the AI provider, and nothing else: never the address, never anything you did not ask about. AI repair is the one that keeps working after you allow it: on pages our rules could not finish it sends the broken parts along with the NAME of the site — «example.com», never the full address, so the path, the search terms and the order numbers stay with you; without the name the model cannot tell what kind of site it is looking at, and its repairs go wrong. And turning a licence key on tells our server the key, a one-way code for the machine and its name, so one key stays on three of your devices instead of a hundred strangers’. An answer we have already given for the same image is kept and reused for everybody, free and with nothing stored about who asked.

Every feature, written down

This page makes the case. The reference makes the list: every repair, every question you can ask a page, every shortcut — and, next to each one, what Chrome does instead. Read it before you install, or keep it open beside you for the first week.

Open the reference

The reference is in English.

Accessibility where the developer never built it

A Chromium browser with a repair engine. The engine may only ADD semantics, and only from a closed whitelist: the site’s markup is never rewritten, and the page never changes visually.

1operation the engine can perform: set an attribute
11attributes it may set — nothing else passes the validator
24ARIA roles it may assign; composite widgets are out of scope
25interface languages, following the system language

what one repair actually looks like

op: set-attr · selector: "button.icon-cart" · attr: aria-label · value: "Basket, 3 items"
Applied: the button now has a name. The structure of the page is unchanged.
aria-hidden is not on the whitelist and will not be: hiding content from a reader can do more harm than doing nothing at all.
Anything the validator does not recognise is dropped in silence — wrong ARIA is worse than missing ARIA.

The rule-based repairs run offline, on the person’s own computer. AI repair, when it is asked for, sends the structure of that one page and nothing else.

Paid features

One page. Four things that were not on it.

Below is an ordinary website — the kind that is fine for anyone who can see it and unusable for anyone who cannot. Press a button and the AI does one thing to it. Every answer here is the real answer our server gave for this page, read out in the voice the browser itself speaks with.

Name the nameless
Icon buttons a screen reader calls «button, button, button». The AI looks at the whole page and names them — and the names go into a shared cache, so the next person gets them free.

Prices

One simple rule: everything the browser does without the AI is free, forever. That is how most sites get fixed — names for buttons, real headings, a focus order that makes sense, dialogs that let you out; it happens on your own computer and costs us nothing. Only the AI is paid, and it is called in for the pages broken badly enough that the rules were not enough.

Try everything first
30 days
Every paid feature is on from the first launch: the AI takes on the pages the browser could not fix by itself, describes images out loud, and hands you fixes other people have already made. No card and no account — the trial starts with the browser and ends by itself.

The whole browser, and everything it does without the AI: names for buttons, real headings, a focus order that makes sense, dialogs that stop trapping you. Plus the sound map, the walkthrough and twenty-four languages. On any site, no account, no expiry. Pages it cannot fix alone go to the AI — that part is paid.
For schools and students

A child learning to read the web by ear should not meet a paywall in the middle of a lesson. The paid features are on — the AI takes on pages the browser could not fix by itself, describes images out loud, and says what a form wants before it is filled in. No card, no account, and nothing expires while they are still at school.
A month holds 150 pictures described in full, 200 quick looks down a list of pictures, 40 pages rewritten in plain words and 20 forms explained before they are filled in. About half of Care, and more than a school day uses. A picture someone has already asked about costs nothing: we describe each one once, for everybody.

The AI takes on the pages the browser could not fix by itself, whenever you ask. It writes a page out in plain words, tells you what a form wants before you start filling it, and describes images out loud. Plus fixes other people have already made, and support.
A month holds 300 spoken image descriptions and 75 pages in plain words. A picture someone has already asked about costs you nothing: we describe each one once, for everybody. Reach the end and the browser tells you out loud; everything free keeps working.
Run out mid-month and ten more descriptions are still there, free, so you are never left standing in front of a picture you needed. If that is not enough, 300 more cost $3 and they do not expire — no card kept on file, no balance ticking down while you think.
Your price stays where it is for as long as your Care is running. If we ever charge new people more, that does not reach you.
Buy Care for a year — $49 Pay for one month — $6
Care for someone else

The same thing, paid by you, used by them. Sets of 3, 5 or 10 seats. One payment; nothing renews on its own.

Legato at work
$199 per seat / year
For when an employer, an employment service or a support programme is paying. One seat is enough — you do not need ten.

When the trial ends, nothing locks

What stays, free and for good: the whole browser and everything it does without the AI — names for buttons, real headings, a focus order that makes sense — the motifs, twenty-four languages, both styles and all twenty four tints, and everything that came across from Chrome.

What stops: the AI help on pages the browser cannot fix alone, spoken descriptions of images, and fixes other people have made. The browser tells you the day before — out loud, not only on the screen.

No card is stored, so nothing renews and nothing is charged by surprise. You can pay later, or never — what the browser does without the AI never expires.

If you cannot pay, write to us

You will get a seat from the shared pool. One line is enough — we will not ask you to prove that you are poor.

Prices are in US dollars, one payment per term. Nothing renews automatically and no card is stored. When a term ends the browser does not lock — it keeps working and keeps fixing sites without the AI, and that never expires.

Two people, one page

The hardest part of this is usually the conversation. Both sides of it are written for you here.

Send this to someone who could pay

A short message that explains what Legato is, what it changes and what it costs, with a link straight to this page.

Send the instructions to the person who will use it

The same in reverse: what to download, how to start it and what happens the first time.

When the name is ours, the browser says so

A page that names nothing is the reason this browser exists. Where a control has no name, Legato works one out — from the page’s own markup, from a repair someone else’s browser made earlier, or from AI — and your screen reader speaks it. That name is our work, not the page’s, and it can be wrong. So the browser never lets it pass as the page’s own.

It owns up before you act, not after: On anything that pays, buys, subscribes, transfers, withdraws, deletes, erases, deactivates, closes an account, submits, uploads or signs you out, the browser adds “name guessed by the browser” to what it speaks. It knows those words in the page’s language as well as in English. On by default, and roughly one control in three hundred.
Alt+Cmd+N answers where a name came from: Alt+Ctrl+N on Windows. Put the reading cursor on anything and the browser says out loud whether that name is the page’s own, came from the shared memory of earlier repairs, was written by the AI, or was worked out on this computer. Free, no licence, no account.
Or make it say so about every guess: Settings → Page repair → “Say so on every name the browser guessed”. Then it marks every name it worked out itself, on every page — not only the ones that cost something. Some people want the whole picture; it is one switch.

We would rather you hear one extra phrase than press a button we named wrongly. When an action cannot be undone, check the name first — that is what these three are for.

What this browser cannot do

Four of the five are not our decision: they are services Google gives its own browser and does not hand to anyone else. Better to read it here than to find out on the evening you sit down to watch a film.

Films from Netflix, Prime and other subscriptions: Encrypted video needs a decryption module that Google licenses to browsers one by one, and an independent browser does not get it. Everything unencrypted plays normally — YouTube, Twitch, lectures, webinars, your bank’s support video.
Sites that find your city on their own: Chrome asks a Google service for your coordinates. We have no key to it, so we answer “no” at once instead of leaving the page waiting in silence — and the site shows the field where you type your city.
Casting to a television: Google Cast is Google’s own service and is not given to other browsers. We removed the button rather than leave one that never works.
Push notifications from websites: A site’s subscription goes through Google’s push service, and without it the subscription is never created at all. Notifications from a tab you have open still work.
USB and Bluetooth devices driven by a website: Choosing a device is a window the browser has to draw itself, and we have not built it yet. We switched the whole thing off so a site can see it is missing and offer you another way, instead of showing a button that does nothing.

Everything on this list is switched off honestly: a site finds out before it draws a button you could not use. If any of it becomes possible, it moves into the browser — not into a footnote.

We have almost certainly missed things

Legato is built by a sighted developer who does not use a screen reader to get through the day. We read the research, we ran the tests, we listened to the recordings — and that still is not the same as living with it. Somewhere on this page, and somewhere in this browser, there are decisions that look sensible to us and are wrong for you.

Tell us which ones — [email protected]

Write, or call if that is easier. Every message is read by a person, and what you tell us goes into the next version of the browser — that is the whole point of shipping it early.

Questions

Do I have to stop using my screen reader?

No — the opposite. Legato exists so the reader you already use can do its job: your voice, your speed, your shortcuts. And if you have no screen reader, or want a rest from it, the browser has a voice of its own — one shortcut away, in both directions.

What happens when I stop paying?

The browser keeps working and keeps fixing sites without the AI — the only thing that stops is the AI itself. We will never lock a browser: for many people it is the only door to the internet.

Is it another accessibility overlay?

No. Overlays are installed by website owners and work for them. Legato is installed by you and works for you; websites cannot see it or switch it off.

What if I have no internet for a while?

Everything the browser does without the AI works offline. A paid licence keeps working for 30 days without a connection, and then falls back to free rather than stopping.

Can I install it for someone else?

Yes, and there is a printable page for exactly that — including a key short enough to read out over the phone.

Which languages does it speak?

Twenty-four. The interface follows your system language, because your screen reader chooses its voice the same way.
