@TAB That’s really good you’ve known some blind people. It’s really impressive thwt one guy was. Judo champion. 🙂
Its not a silly question at all and I don’t mind you asking.
I use software on computer called JAWS. It speak what is written on the screen for me. Then I use voice to text to type up what I want to say back. It’s very good modern technology very big help to be able to use computer, tablet and phone. I got the software through NDIS cause not cheap. I also have a very big magnifier that speaks too so I can read books, magazines, letters etc. The magnifier was nearly $8000 paid by NDIS and I really love it because before I had it was too hard to read books and magazines.
