I have been asked to supply a Mac to a partially sighted client. From
what I have gathered, his impairment requires him to view any normal
text from a distance of a few inches from the screen. His mother
describes his vision as being at the poor end of partially
sighted, and
he is legally blind under UK rules, should that be relevant,
although
this is apparently a pretty broad classification.
This will be a 24" iMac. Are there any recommendations of other
applications beyond VoiceOver and Zoom that I should consider for
him?
You might like to look at VisioVoice. It provides a very easy-to-use
reader and I gather it offers better contrast on the screen, although
I can't confirm this as I'm totally blind. The voices that come with
it are excellent and even have a British accent! It's even on special
offer at the moment at €99. If you want to see it in use, go to:
www.assistiveware.com
where you will find short videos and lots more information.
Cheers,
Anne
