Recently, I've heard about this artificial vision device that helps <a href="https://www.orcam.com/en/blog/smart-glasses-for-the-visually-impaired-reading-is-possible-again/" rel="nofollow">partially sighted people</a> "read" on their own. Although this technology was originally created for <a href="https://www.orcam.com/en/article/life-changing-device-people-visual-disability/" rel="nofollow">visual disability</a>, it does work for people who have reading difficulties, dyslexia or low vision.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219762155845502522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824778240795132731.post-32425659195760774292009-10-05T19:00:29.536+01:002009-10-05T19:00:29.536+01:00It has been out some time, people generally found ...It has been out some time, people generally found it too buggy and inflexible. I didn't try it myself though so this is just what I recall hearing everyone saying. Mainstream game makers had a similar problem about ten years ago or so I believe. They couldn't get the funding to make an updated version to address some of the issues in AGM either.<br /><br />On the other hand of small interest and relevance to this blog's original intent is textsl.org, a very rudimentary SL client that interfaces with Jaws. I've tried it and it isn't much better for us than a chat client with some awkward navigation features, but it is a beginning I hope. It doesn't rely on an awkward web interface either, I never could get my head around the whole Kestrel thing.<br /><br />Craig, AKA CX2 at audiogames.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
