Thunder is an award-winning free screen-reader software for people with little or no sight.  The software works well with Windows 7, Vista, or XP. Without needing to see the screen, you will be able to write letters and documents, hear what you have typed letter by letter or word by word, change the speed and voice, and repeat what you have just heard and more.

Thunder can be downloaded from Screenreader.net, a new non-profit community interest group from Choice Technology.  The software is free for individual users but organizations must pay a yearly subscription depending  upon their size for using the screen reader.

Visit the Screenreader.net to learn more about the Thunder software, along with information about FREE web learning days for blind computer users.

WHAT: Free webinar on the NVDA Screen Reader

NVDA is a free, downloadable screen reader from the Windows operating system.  Out of those that use screen reading software on their computer, 8% use NVDA.

NV Access, the Australian non-profit that manages NVDA, believes that “accessibility should not be an extra cost for the user.  Blind and visually impaired people have the right to access technology at no more cost than their sighted peers.”
