New Book on Windows launched for Blind and
Visually Impaired Computer Users from
Award-Winning Author and Trainer Dr. Sarah Morley,
with Anna Dresner
A new book “Windows 98 Explained: An Overview for
Blind and Visually Impaired Users” by
award-winning author and trainer Dr. Sarah Morley

Dresner, has just been published by the Royal
National Institute for the Blind UK.

RNIB in the UK for European and world-wide
customers, and from National Braille Press in the
USA for American customers.
Outline: Read “Windows 98 Explained: An Overview
for Blind and Visually Impaired Users” to enable
you to take full advantage of Windows 98 when
using it with access technology, and to learn
about the differences between Windows 95 and
Windows 98. This new guide is vital for learning
how to use the new features of Windows 98 if you
are a keyboard user working with speech, braille,
or screen-magnification access technology.

perspective.
