[laptop-accessibility] Screen readers for developing countries

[ashettle at patriot.net]

Thank you for pointing us to this article, Peter Korn.  I plan to link to
it from my blog later tonight (wecando.wordpress.com)

There is also a low-cost, portable device meant to enable blind people in
developing countries to read computers:

I wonder if this device would be helpful at all with the XO laptop, at
least for children with low-vision.
