Accessibility Software on a USB Drive
I identified a deterioration in my eyesight about a year ago and I have been wearing glasses to read and while using the computer. I was told that it would get worse. So far, my prescription is holding up. My biggest annoyance is that I often forget my glasses in the car.
Some people are much worse off than me, to the point where glasses can’t do the job alone. There are several types of software available that serve to magnify computer displays for the visually impaired. A recent development involves putting this software on a USB drive so users can take the software with them to public computers. Even if you are just using this for installing on multiple computers among family and friends, the convenience of not having to key in license codes and serial numbers will please a lot of people.
When we moved a few years ago, we found ourselves without internet with no end in sight for weeks. My wife had to retrieve files related to her work and upload finished work. We had a USB drive with a Gig or two and we found out that there is a wide variation with regard to access to USB ports at internet cafes. God bless the people who could and would accommodate us. I don’t think Accessibility Software on a USB Drive is going to be the answer for people who are traveling.
