The Computers for the Blind (formerly The Texas Center for the Visually
Challenged) is a volunteer organization devoted to providing computers for
the blind. It is our hope that each person with vision loss may experience
the information age in a positive and productive manner. We believe
technology opens new worlds and creates opportunity for greater personal
freedom.
The process starts with the donation of used computers. A group of dedicated
volunteers refurbishes the computer. Special software is included with a
screen reader and a voice synthesizer so text may be read aloud. E-mail and
word processing programs are part of the software library.
Any visually impaired person who is serious about using a computer and is
willing to commit to the learning process is eligible to receive a computer.
Bob Langford is the founding father of The Computers for the Blind. Bob says
"When you are blind, learning the computer is a lot of work. It takes real
dedication and some give up. But for those like me who put the effort into
it, it's a tremendous miracle."
