Lynx is the interpretive engine for braille and screen reading software.
It starts up and exits quickly compared to graphical Browsers such as MSIE, Netscape, Opera, Web-TV, etc. Finally, Lynx uses a relatively small amount of computer resource in comparison with graphical Browsers. Lynx is a useful tool for web page Authors in checking their compositions for Accessibility and Image Alternate Text usage. It is also very useful for quick Browsing of web pages when only textual information is desired. I recommend you do install a shortcut on your desktop.
