You've mentioned swiper a few times.

What Swiper does is the same as the built-in isearch -- except that
swiper provides a visual preview of the next  set of matches. This is
mostly useful only if you have enough vision to read that preview --
since Emacspeak can only speak the current match. So unless you really
do have sufficient vision to meet that requirement, and using that
vision is not a strain, I'd avoid swiper and just use C-s and C-r.
