Index Number: 10095 Tactic, the braille computer magazine, has recently announced that it is now available in 15-point large-print. It was formerly only available in braille. The magazine says about itself: "Tactic is a quarterly publication containing timely information on adapted technology for blind and visually impaired people. This is a consumer-oriented publication without product bias. All opinions expressed in the magazine are entirely those of the authors." The magazine further says about itself: "in each issue of Tactic, you will find product reviews of hardware and software enabling blind and visually impaired people to access computers through braille, speech and enlarged print. You will also find reviews of off-the-shelf products successfully used by blind consumers as well as announcements of the latest technologically related products (taped tutorials, books in accessible media, and more). Tips and experiences shared in readers' letters through "Feedback" and elsewhere in the magazine have been known to solve problems on many occasions, and announcements of "soon to be released" products have saved consumers the misfortune of buying the "almost right" solution a month before its more appropriate counterpart hit the market. There are a limited number of free trial copies available. The subscription price for the large-print version is $16.00 per year. The braille costs $10.00.
