Dear Ganesh, People with visual difficulties use a software called screen reader. This allows them to read the content on the web page. Even with this software , when used tab key to navigate it only reads focusable elements i.e links and form elements. The text can be read only using up and down arrow keys. This up and down arrow keys does not work as expected when you use only keyboard to browse. To have a experience of a screen reader you can give it a try with free and open source screen reader NVDA. NVDA can be downloaded from http://www.nvaccess.org/download/ The short-cut commands to use NVDA can be found at http://www.maxability.co.in/screen-readers/nvda-web-commands/ Hope this helps.
