ducky Forum stalwart Posts: 132 Location: QLD Registered: July 2008	RE: Help for Blind Handy People Posted 732 days ago Finally, I can answer your question Hutcho!! It's usually you answering mine. A screen reader is a software application that attempts to identify and interpret what is being displayed on the screen. This interpretation is then re-presented to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons, or a Braille output device. Screen readers are a form of assistive technology (AT) potentially useful to people who are blind, visually impaired, illiterate or learning disabled, often in combination with other AT, such as screen magnifiers. _________ :)	0 0 Alert moderator
