Vision

BELOW/LEFT video: this video explains the way a computer system software can read the website/web page information out loud and people that are blind or heard of seeing can have the same opportunity to use the web just like those who aren't hard of seeing. media type="youtube" key="XtDmmwjX-44" width="425" height="350" The above video is such a smart idea in this computer age. This gives those who are blind a chance to use technology like everyone else. media type="youtube" key="RiP-ijdxqEc" height="344" width="425"Type in the content of your page here.

It’s a hand held reader or also known as ‘the camera that talks’. It takes a picture of a document for the blind person and then reads back to them what it sees or what the document says. This would be great for someone with a visual disability of any level.

This is a lot like the video that I had posted. The video shows instead of a camera that takes pictures, but a scanner scans the image into the computer and reads it back to the person.

This will really help a blind person to be more independent and read different information without the access to brail.

Through braille communication, this wireless communicator can store documents, connect to a computer, and has blue-tooth built in which gives you access to mainstream devices. This braille input device allows individuals to check their email, take notes, surf the web, listen to a book, read a newspaper in braille, etc. (TJD)
