versions to let people try them, but this Webinar will demonstrate an=20
inexpensive beginner screen reader that comes on a USB drive and will =
run=20
from that drive without being installed as part of the computer=20
system. You can take it anywhere: to a friend's house or to a public=20
library!
It is good for someone with learning disabilities or with limited=20
vision. It could be great for a senior wanting mainly access to simple,=20=
public Web sites or to exchange email with grandchildren. It could be=20
useful for a person who is blind but who only requires very limited=20
