WebAnywhere for Low Vision Internet Use
November 12, 2009 | Posted by Joan Adams
WebAnywhere is a free computer application that will read internet pages and your email to you. WebAnywhere does not require special equipment or downloads. In fact, in the privacy of your home, you can listen without earphones. If you use a public computer, you will want to use earphones.
This is helpful not only to the blind, but to anyone with low vision or with serious visual impairment.
I have been experimenting with WebAnywhere this morning. It is easy to use. Understanding and following is simple on one page. However, I found it difficult to keep up when I was quickly reviewing and making changes in pages. I think there is a learning curve to this. People who use screen readers, however, will find it quite simple to use. And very convenient.
Watch the video and then experiment a bit with WebAnywhere — and if you do not have low vision, please pass along this web address to someone who needs it.

It sounds like something that would extremely useful. It will be nice when the voice is easier to understand. It’s already hard enough for people with low or no vision. I’m so glad that this portion of our web population is having their needs addressed. Great post! I will certainly keep it in mind.
