Thermostats, Tactile Diagrams and Web Access
TouchGraphics are developers of the Talking Tactile Tablet (TTT). The TTT is a peripheral device that gives students access to talking tactile displays. TouchGraphics are curently working on an authoring tool for teachers. You can help with development by entering the TouchGraphics TTT Contest. There are 75 TTTs, with authoring tools, to be won.
Talking Thermostats Includes audio instructions for set up, as well as giving the day, time, room temperature and temperature settings.
Web Eyes is software to add to Internet Explorer. Web Eyes will increase Web page font sizes up to 144pt. If desired, you can also decrease font size down to as small as 4pts. Web Eyes also eliminates scrolling. A demonstration at the Web Eyes site shows how users can move forward or backwards through a Web page, just as you might by turning the pages of a book, by clicking on easy to read icons.
Web Eyes can be downloaded for a fifteen-day free trial or can be purchased for $19.95 USD. If you are only interested in being able to change font sizes, you might also like to check out the Opera Web browser, which allows Web page content to be increased by up to 1000%.
