Technology

Work, education, home life and citizenship all require the exchange of information. Computers are the most common way of participating in this exchange for people who are blind or have impaired vision. Instead of looking at a computer monitor, with the use of specialized software, you can listen to the computer. Think of it as an “audio monitor” rather than a video monitor. Or with specially designed hardware, you can use braille to work with a computer. For people with low vision, screen enlargement software will make everything on the screen bigger.
