Welcome

Welcome to my blog about technology for the blind or visually impaired. I will be posting information about the latest accessible technology, reviewing programs that work well with a screen reader, possibly tips and tricks, and other things.

For those who are sighted and do not know what a screen reader is, it is a program that reads out information on the screen allowing blind or visually impaired users to get information independantly. The most popular screen readers include:
JAWS For Windows
Window Eyes
and
Hal.
