I am interested in the Math software for the blind, WinTriangle: Who has it been developed by? Where can I get it and how? The website of the company behind the development of this software will certainly be of use.
Last, but not least, I would be glad to offer my services for the advancement of the blind and visually impaired in the areas of Mathematics and Computer Science.

One issue of course is that Jaws and windows eyes are not perfect. Sighted people often design webpages and software that is not necessarily fully accessible through a screen reader.

Fortunately, a lot of good work has been done in the area of webpage accessibility. The “web standards project” is working for some standards for making web technologies accessible for all:
http://www.webstandards.org

the following on-line tool allows you to enter the URL and get a report on its accessibility:

Their home page also has some accessibility guidelines for webpage developers:

Technology can hep us cross these hurdlesand allow people to reach their full potential.
