Thanks Andrew,

That does sound like the sort of thing.

Do you have any names or web sites?

Hi,

There are several soltuions which will allow you to move the mouse over an
object and the colour status of the object will be displayed on an icon on
the system tray or on the screen.  These are really cheap (compairred to a
screen reader proper), and should be relatively easily available.

Subject: [access-uk] Colour Blindness and PCs

Dear listers,

A colleague of mine at work is colour blind. A screen reader like
Window-eyes would not really be appropriate for her to use.

She was telling me today that on some applications she really needs to know
what colour a field on the screen is , but cannot discriminate differences
in some cases.

Does anyone know how this could be handled?

Thanks in advance.


 
Regards, John.
