How Can You Help
If you want to play a part in empowering blind and visually impaired people, please get in touch with us: ask@screenreader.net
Before you advise a blind person to spend out on expensive screenreader talking software, you could download and trial Thunder because it might be all he or she needs. Its wonderfully easy to listen to live and listen again radio, music, an online library, the latest news RSS feeds, podcasts and even Facebook.
You could spend a little time using the Thunder keystrokes and briefly explore WebbIE and the other accessible options to see how a text browser works on the internet. Its all quite different from pointing and clicking a mouse.
As an individual, you can assist a blind or visually impaired new computer user to download the talking software on to their PC. To help, you can, of course, be a seeing or a visually impaired person with your special experiences.
You can guide them towards the first keystrokes to get them going.
You could show another family member or friend how to develop their keyboard skills or teach them how to get to the manuals on this website .
You could put them in touch with the nearest college or disability support centre.
You could persuade your employer or colleagues to support the screenreader.net project with practical help or by making a donation.
Any help you can offer will greatly improve the life of a person with little or no sight.
We are blind people ourselves and understand personally and professionally just how vital it is to be able to read and write again, fill in forms and keep up with the latest information.
So please do become part of our thunder Community.
