This site is dedicated to technologies that enable people with print impairments to gain access to the world around them.
Greater access leads to fewer barriers, in and out of the workplace.
It is my hope that with fewer barriers, people with print impairments will have more opportunities to interact and compete with others on an equal footing. One environment that has received somewhat less attention than others in regards to access is the X Windows System. Georgia Tech developed a screen reader for X several years ago, and have since released the sources so that a Linux port could be produced. The screen reader is now being called Ultrasonix , and its progress is being tracked at this site. For information on a much wider variety of access solutions for many operating systems, visit the Trace Center .
