Hi all,

I have just seen the following on the virtues list and I thought that it had actually been sent to the wrong type of list so I thought it should be sent on to access-uk

Dear All,



Our project aims to improve Internet access for the blind and visually-impaired community by using senses other than vision to convey information. In particular, sound and touch will be used for exploring web pages. By using these new approaches, blind and visually-impaired users will have enhanced access to the Internet.



We are currently looking for visually-impaired (blind or partially-sighted) volunteers in the UK and the Republic of Ireland to participate in a telephone-based interview, the purpose of which is to assess how each person uses the Internet and to determine its associated difficulties. We are looking at all age groups and levels of computer experience (beginner to expert), so if you are interested, please contact web4blind@xxxxxxxxx and we can arrange a time that suits you.



Further information about our work is available from http://www.web4blind.org



Thanks,

Web4Blind team
