I wondered how a blind person gets along on the internet. One of these members shared some info that there are text to speech solution that give these folks this ability. There is even a way for me to make my websites more friendly for them. Unfortunately, the image verification system that my sites use make it difficult for the blind. If anyone emails me, I will manually create an account for them like I have done 2 other times. Source : Code Factory via Jason Langridge's WebLog

I have a good friend that works at a nearby blind academy. (I volunteer there) I am familiar with Zoom and Jaws (that are for PC).... I will forward this information to her ... in case she hasn't heard about it :)

Thanks for passing along the information Chris!
