An Introduction to Screen Readers - by Victor Tsaran

Victor Tsaran, an active GAWDS member working for Yahoo! talks us through how he uses a screen-reader. For those that are new to accessibility, a screen reader is software that helps a visually impaired computer user gain access to screen content. It works by reading the content and controls available on the page back to the user. Hmmm, I'll let Victor explain it...



I've also just recieved some video from David Colven at Ace Centre It shows Peter Harris, one of the centre's clients, doing some very impressive drawings using single key presses. I mentioned this in my blog a couple of weeks ago. I'll put it up as soon as I've had a chance to 'youtube' it.
