[Electronics-Talk] Computer Question

[Christopher Chaltain]

The ChromeBook runs ChromeOS from Google. The screen reader is 
ChromeVox. I've used ChromeVox with the Chrome browser under Windows and 
Linux, but I haven't used a ChromeBook yet. I see from blind people on 
various lists though that it seems to be pretty accessible., so if 
you're going to use it primarily for surfing the web and using web based 
applications like Google Docs then I think it's a good option. You'll 
also be able to run Android apps on your ChromeBook, and I think these 
will be accessible as well.
