karissa cochran on 25 Mar 12Some sixteen million Americans have eye conditions that glasses cannot correct. There are many programs and technologies available to aid visually impaired individuals. This video demonstrates one technology called LowBrowse. This helps people with low vision to be able to browse the internet. Whatever the cursor is hovering over will be blown up at the top of the screen. Other programs can be difficult to navigate because they only magnify one portion of the screen. LowBrowse allows the lower portion of the screen to remain at normal size and displays the magnified portion at the top. This technology is completely free and once you set your preferences they will automatically appear wherever you go on the internet. It can also read text out loud.
