Webinar:  NVDA: Non Visual Desktop Access: The free and open source Windows Screen Reader that's closing the digital divide!

Imagine!  A free public Webinar about a free screen reader that really works and is being used by more than 8% of all screen reader users world wide in over 20 languages!  It's NVDA - it's free - it's open source - it's portable - it works on any Windows based PC - and it's functionally comparable to commercial offerings.

NV Access inc. an Australian not-for-profit organisation supports and manages NVDA.  "We believe that accessibility should not be an extra cost for the user.  Blind and vision impaired people have the right to access technology at no more cost than their sighted peers.  Our goal is to make that happen!"

So register to hear one of the founders of NV Access talk about how well managed Free & open source software can further these goals and hear how NVDA is really closing the digital divide for blind and vision impaired users across the globe.
