One question I’m frequently asked is how, as a blind person, can I use a computer? Often, this question leads to some interesting follow-up questions such as: do you use a braille keyboard? Do you talk to your computer? How does it know what to say? And of course, how did you learn to do all that?

Tonight, on the Assistive Technology show, I thought it might be a good idea to address these questions. But of course it’s not about how “I” use a computer, but how do others access their computers? My hope is that although this information may not really be breaking news to most folks currently participating in the show, tonight’s program might serve as a resource for others who are just plain curious.

When? the Assistive technology show takes place Wednesday evenings, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EDT. If you’re unable to make tonight’s program, fear not as it’s archived and podcasted roughly within an hour after completion of the show. For more information, please see the Assistive Technology show homepage at http://www.atmaine.com/atshow .

I look forward to again bringing you another edition of the Assistive Technology Show.
