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.
