Alternative Web Browsing

this is a picture of a finger going over brail
Mr. Stephen Sullivan's presentation really opened your eyes and make you think what would you do without these alternatives if you had a disability. There are so many different software's that are so wonderful for people with a disability. It's amazing to see them all, I had no clue of all the advances until I saw this presentation. These browsers really make it so much more assessable for a person that has to have special needs.
BrooesTalk, Marco Polo are web browsers that are specifically for people with disabilities and those are only a few of the many. They allow touch screen, speech icons, and etc. It's awesome all the neat things that they can accomplish now, rather than 15 years ago they couldn't have. Convers a web browser, is a web browser that is voice activated and allows you to speak which Icon you want with using "say cons". This site really opens your eyes, and shows you all the new technology that is advanced for disabled people, it's really a great thing to do since in some cases a computer can be the only thing they can actually do.
