Does anyone know of software that can help a person who is blind use the Amiga? We have a user who wishes to do some programming on the Amiga, but can't find software which allows full utilization of the system. The user can hear 350+ words/minute. I know the Macintosh has a program which enables the user to move the cursor on the screen with the keyboard cursor keys. Other "special" keys allow the user to obtain almost any information needed about the GUI on the Mac. We are interested in any type of software whether it is commercial, shareware, or public domain. Thanks for any help you can provide. Also, if this is the wrong group to post this, please inform me of the proper group. -- Stanley C. Smith ssmith@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.gov
