Blind Readers

[Silas Denyer]

Related to the discussion of "the rules", for those who don't know I believe

that the RNIB in Great Portland Street now has a gallery full of computers

set up with different types of readers / decoders / helpers for the

partially sighted to allow designers / developers to see how their creations

are translated.


This technology and the issues around it crops up all over the place, see

http://www.rnib.org.uk/whatsnew/pressrel/dec2000/carsurf.htm [summary:

internet "readers" for the blind are being trial-fitted into cars to allow

motorists to access the internet whilst driving without a screen] - if that

sort of thing takes off I can see "accessibility" suddenly becoming a number

one priority for a lot of people:-)
