Hi
Noel Hemmings from Action for Blind people shared the attached notes
with delegates from the Newcastle Six Steps workshop and thought they
might be of interest to others. They are from a low/no cost
accessibility solutions workshop he ran last year.
Noel says "It may be that it needs slightly updating as Apple IOS 7 and
Windows 8 has been released since I wrote it but it should be pretty
much relevant at present. I've also attached notes from Apple workshops
I run (please bare in mind I wrote these with complete beginners in
mind) I remember someone asking where to get NVDA from (apologies, I
don't remember who) this is available to download here
<http://community.nvda-project.org/>
Another free package I use is called Lightning Express, this is good
because it does not install anything on the pc so sometimes gets around
security concerns, it is available here <http://www.xpscreenreader.com/>
There is also some useful free software here
<http://www.fx-software.co.uk/assistive.htm> which can help with some
sight conditions and Dyslexia."
