Today, i heard about the most amazing thing - a web based screen reader that is absolutely pathbreaking!!! Its called WebAnywhere (WA).
Why is a web based screen reader revolutionary ?
Because it completely ELIMINATES machine and software dependancy. Before WA, a blind person could only use their own machine to use personal computing. the screen reader needed to be installed on the machine.
But now, ANY machine can be used by a blind person. All they need to do is to click on the link and they're on!!
Happy Independence Day, Folks! We are free to use any machine we want from here on.
