[nabs-l] {Disarmed} Free screen reader for blind people - Wed. March 27, 2013

[Josh Gregory]

This Works on Mac OS 10? I really don't see why you would need it Since it already has a built-in one, but it might be worth checking out.

>> 
>> For the blind, sight-based technology can sometimes be a stumbling block. Most computers, phones and gadgets are built around a visual interface.
>> 
>> These visual interfaces are becoming more and more integrated into everyday life, which can make things harder for blind people and folks with severely diminished eyesight.
>> 
>> But these selfsame technologies can also be huge assets to blind people as well. Computers have millions of potential uses for complementing and enhancing day-to-day life. You just need the right software.
>> 
>> Screen reading technology has been around for decades now, but many screen readers can be prohibitively expensive, or else they aren't designed to meet a blind person's specific needs.
>> 
>> Today's download is a free, open-source screen reader that converts text and visual cues on your computer into a synthetic voice. It was created by two blind software programmers to help them use their own computers.
