Using assistive technology

Assistive technologies are products used by people with disabilities to help accomplish tasks that they cannot accomplish otherwise or could not do easily otherwise. When used with computers, assistive technologies are also referred to as adaptive software. Some assistive technologies rely on output of other user agents, such as graphical desktop browsers, text browsers, voice browsers, multimedia players and plug-ins. Assistive technology comes in many different forms, including:

• alternative keyboards or switches;
• braille and refreshable braille;
• screen magnifiers;
• sound notification;
• screen readers;
• speech recognition;
• scanning software;
• speech synthesis (speech output);
