Screen reader for the blind/visually-impaired FREE

Post by ChrisGreaves »

I have not used this; it appeared in my daily news feed this morning.
Mick and Jamie's disabilities have not been a barrier to success.
The pair created screen-reading software called NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access) when they were fresh out of university. Seventeen years later, it's now used by 275,000 people in 175 countries and has been translated into 50 languages.
"It is the only screen reader in the world that's made by blind people for blind people," says disability advocate Ben Clare, "and opened doors for people with vision impairment".

Cheers, Chris
