Hi
One of my latest pet projects is trying to sort a laptop for my old man.
Now he is 75 this year (if he ever sends me an email I'll count it as mission succeeded!) had lost all sight in one eye and with glaucoma has limited vision in the other.... Although I have a highly IT literate friend with more limited vision I've seen way audio assists work and know that is a guaranteed fail.
Just tried the ORCA assist under ubuntu and not much cop there, but maybe something was borked cause I was playing about with screen res.
Not restricted to linux based - could reinstall XP.... Hence posting here. One thought of mine is to keep it simple and make the control scroll "stick" - a how to on that would be great.
Or maybe one of the browsers has even superior facilities?
All help and suggestions appreciated...
