Software for Visually Impaired Students
NVDA Screen Reader
NVDA is short for NonVisual Desktop Access. It is a screen reader which enables blind or visually impaired people to access information on a computer. On-screen information is being read out and translated into Braille, a dot-based tactile script. NVDA is bundled with eSpeak, a free speech synthesizer but it also is possible to use SAPI4 and SAPI 5 speech engines, like RealSpeak’s Emily. For Braille output with NVDA, Handy Tech Braille displays are ideal.
