The New Accessibility Features of Windows VISTA

The new Windows VISTA operating system has expanded the range of accessibility options. The new Ease of Access Center provides a central location for accessibility tools such as a magnifier, on-screen keyboard, contrast adjuster, and narrator. Users who wish to customize settings are further provided links for making the computer easier to see, using the computer without a mouse or keyboard, making the mouse easier to use, or using the computer without a display.
Reading text aloud can be accomplished through the VISTA Narrator and speech recognition is setup from the beginning...to easily interface with other programs. This new operating system seems to offer a more universally designed interface...for all users!
