Hi,

 

You might want to consider a kindle (with the bot actuator attachment by origin systems \ Inclusive Technology if necessary) he can then subscribe wirelessly either via 3g or wifi to a newspaper - this would also give control over fonts & possibly TTS capability depending on the paper.

 

Also he might want to consider a tablet (apple, PC or android) and some simple app.

One of my MND patients , who is not particularly interetsed in technology, or general internet trawling, wants to read newspapers: I was wondering if one of the new type of internet access TVs would allow him to access newspaper websites without bothering with a separate computer, and if anyone had any thoughts about how he might be able to control this function with an environmental control system... his voice is currently perefct & his leg control is fine.

 

Alternatively is there a reliable newspaper page turner, that doesn't take up the whole room & cost a fortune?
