Discover new enhancements to Mac OS X Leopard, an operating system that is compatible with braille displays. If you own a Windows XP-based computer, maximize the options you already have by learning how to run the applications built into Microsoft Accessibility tools. These include high contrast schemes, size and color of the mouse cursor, and cursor width and blink rate. Explore System Access, a program that is a low-cost screen reader, as well as SAM Net, an Internet community designed especially for blind users. We will also learn about a Linux-compatible screen reader and NonVisual Desktop Access.
