[access-uk] Re: Colour Blindness and PCs

I remember once being told by the then Dorset Institute that they
wouldn't accept a Colour Blind person on their media course let alone a
blind person.  

Just thought I'd throw that in.  It was OK to say that kind of thing in
1991 ... Well, still is really.

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.

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.
