Project Update: 12th November 2010

Dear Jill, Rachel, Roger, Michael and Mike,

Thanks to you, we’ve been able to support another 60 downloads of the Screenreader software for blind people. Your help makes a real difference and we wanted to show you some of the people who’ve benefited here in the UK and from further afield:

Dear Screenreader

Congratulations and thanks for your the new thunder software. I shall certainly try out your new software as soon as I can find the time to do so. Do keep up with the good work and I’m sure that i am speaking for many blind people when I say that your services are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Alfred Ho. 

Hi Roger and Margaret

Thanks for Thunder. The students at the college I work at are not able to pay the vast sums required for commercial screen readers so anything free which does the same job is definitely of interest to them.

Best Wishes

Anne Brook

Tutor/coordinator for blind and visually impaired students at Leeds City College.

Can I just say even before I look at the new version thank you.

Thank you so much as a lot of our blind and partially sighted users have got a great deal out of using it, and it's free you don't get many things like that.

So thanks once again.

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm writing from Andhra Pradesh, India.

I'm a totally blind and find the English Thunder a lifeline.  I request you kindly to consider the possibility of adding support for Telugu language, thereby enabling thousands of blind people access the PC to read books and magazines online and also to work on par with their sighted colleagues.

Thanking you in anticipation.

I must admit that you are the only unselfish group for the blind and handicapped. CONGRATULATIONS!  

Dr. Heinz-Guenther Pink

Advocate and program evaluator for the blind, deaf and handicapped.

Sharing this project on facebook, twitter and email would help us spread the word and allow us to offer more blind people better access to the internet. So please do tell 5 friends and hit the “like” button.

...and thank-you again we think you’re rather special.

Kind regards,

Tim,

Communication for Blind People.

If you like this...

... you might like to help with more technology for the blind here, or perhaps you'd like to help Vision send visually impaired children on holiday here, or you can use our search function to find a project that suits you.
