I have very restricted vision. What are my options?

If you have little or no vision, the internet can still be accessed by using a speaking browser or refreshable braille displays. A speaking browser reads aloud the contents of the website. Braille displays translate the site's content into braille, which can be read by touch. Visit the RNIB website for details of technology designed to help.
