Computer Software

The most important first step when trying to stay on the computer as a low vision or blind person is to practice your touch-typing skills. Then it is just a matter of gaining magnification on the screen, maybe enhancing the arrow keys and cursor, and add speech if you feel it would be helpful to have keyboard typing echo or document read back. If the computer seems daunting to you, do not give up before looking into Dolphin Guide, elsewhere on our website. It is so unique it is a category all its own.

You will find in this section a suite of computer software programs from Dolphin Computer Access. These programs have been a reliable option for our customers for years, who periodically update their software programs as their computer operating systems get upgraded. A totally new solution for the computer has captured our attention here, and it is a "take it with you" product called iZoom. It is literally a thumb drive on a key chain clip and includes a fully featured set of magnification and speech capabilities that you can take to hotel computers, library computers, or anywhere where there is a PC with a USB drive. iZoom does not actually load on the host computer. There is no Windows unlock. It is a solution we are excited about, and many are finding it both versatile and affordable.
