I warmly thank Mr Vamshi that he expanded what I tried conveying in my previous letter. Since Mr Zakareya is already doing appreciably good, we should also make a difference. At present, to spread awareness among the doctors, we can search for list of eye specialist in our cities and their contact details. Having known their websites or email addresses, we can educate them about adaptive technology and how can it dramatically change the lives of people with visual impairment. In addition, we can also append some URLs with our emails to corroborate our statements. I did this. It is clearly understandable that associations working for the visually impaired can do a more tangible work in this regard. Mr Zakareya, I don't know anything about Arabic, but will be very thankful to know. Is there any Arabic screen reading software available? Please respond.
