THUNDER FOR ALL

 Guide Dog week!  Love this pic of the lovely guide ... on Twitpic

Just think about how much you take the Internet for granted

Whether you use it for email (we send around 250 billion emails a day apparently), looking up information or just telling the world through social network sites like Facebook what you had for lunch, the Internet can play a big part in your daily life. Basically, the World Wide Web is brilliant, isn't it?

But how do you access the Internet if you are visually impaired or dyslexic?

Click here to watch a new video about how screen reading software Thunder, makes being able to use the Internet a life-changing experience for visually impaired people. In the video made by See The Difference, Roger and Margaret, shown above with their guide dog Tania, explain how Thunder is used on a daily basis by over 40,000 users world-wide.

Thunder is made available as a free of charge download to visually impaired people and the charity, Communication For Blind People welcomes donations to keep the Thunder software up to date with the latest trends in web development.

Torch Trust do not endorse any particular screen reading software but the local fellowship have tested Thunder successfully with the low graphics version of Network Norwich, the local Christian News portal.
