Hello!  We have a patron who is vision impaired.  We have a DaVinci reader - at the highest zoom level she cannot read the text.  She wants to be able to use excel and word.  She is a touch typist, and with some help she can enter info.  We are looking at Microsoft speech tools (what comes with office or an add-in).  I'm using a laptop with her, with a standard keyboard and mouse.  I put stickers on the enter and shift keys, which is helping her.

I'm curious what tools other libraries are using for vision impaired patrons?  Just beginning my search.

Thanks,
Joe Sanderson
