Post 9: Alternative Web Browsing

I am amazed at the alternatives available for the disabled when it comes to web browsing. I have never heard of any of these things except for maybe the screen modifiers. Software such as ZoomText and Magic help people who have low vision or learning dissabilities. I thought Jaws and Window Eyes were pretty neat because they actual read everything aloud that is on the computer screen in order for a person who is completely blind to know what is in front of them. People with limited hand use due to all different reasons can use the Via Voice or Dragon Naturally Speaking to browse. They can actually speak into a microphone their demands rather than use a keyboard. It is amazing how the web has been made accessible to people with dissabilities. I think it is great! Point blank- things have come a long way since Mary on "Little House and the Prarie," found out she was blind.
