Assistive technology designed for individuals with sight loss or low vision allows them to effectively use computers. Such tools typically modify the display, provide auditory feedback, or offer alternative input methods. Screen readers, for example, convert text and interface elements into speech or braille, enabling users to navigate and interact with digital content.
These technologies provide crucial access to information, education, and employment opportunities for those with visual challenges. Historically, limited options existed, but advancements in computing have led to increasingly sophisticated and user-friendly solutions. This progress promotes independence, fosters inclusivity, and expands potential career paths.
