[Athen] Webinar March 3: free open source screen reader

[Prof Norm Coombs]

                  Webinar:  NVDA: Non Visual Desktop Access: The free and 
open source Windows Screen Reader that’s closing the digital divide!

Imagine!  A free public Webinar about a free screen reader that really 
works and is being used by more than 8% of all screen reader users world 
wide in over 20 languages!  It’s NVDA ­ it’s free ­ it’s open source ­ it's 
portable - it works on any Windows based PC -and it’s functionally 
comparable to commercial offerings.
NV Access inc. an Australian not-for-profit organization supports and 
manages NVDA. "We believe that accessibility should not be an extra cost 
for the user.  Blind and vision impaired people have the right to access 
technology at no more cost than their sighted peers.
Our goal is to make that happen!"
So register to hear one of the founders of NV Access talk about how well 
managed Free & open source software can further these goals and hear how 
NVDA is really closing the digital divide for blind and vision impaired 
users across the globe.
Presenter:  Mat Mirabella, secretary and co-founder of NV Access Inc.
