The totally blind

[Mike Novak]

Greetings Web4libers,

I'm curious about in-library web accessibility for the totally blind.  We
have ZoomText XTRA that includes a screen reader along with screen
magnification software, but it doesn't really seem adequate for the totally
blind.  We have a new patron who is totally blind and is used to using JAWS,
which seems to be the de facto standard, so we're looking into that.  Has
anyone used JAWS with Public Browser (PWB)?  Do you make a scanner available
for scanning in documents for JAWS?  If so, do you then make the scanner
available to other library patrons to scan photos, etc.?

Thanks,
