Building a Digital Bridge for Blind Computer Users
This is the second installment of the GEO monthly podcast. This time, Lucy Greco of the DictationBridge development team tells us about their project to create a free, open-source assistive software tool for blind computer users that has the potential to bring a new level of computer accessibility to many vision-impared people across the world. This collaborative effort is being supported by 3 Mouse Technology, a worker cooperative, and will provide a free alternative to the currently available commercial products that cost thousands of dollars to buy. Follow the link below to support this worthy endeavor with a contribution to their IndieGogo campaign. Enjoy the show!
