The TIM software workshop is a set of development tools dedicated to the design of non visual education applications, based on a distributed object model.
Independent components drive special devices like touchpad, speech synthesis or Braille displays.
In some cases, visual display is not essential. The spoken comment, with musical accompaniment and sound effects, offers a good content. It seems very interesting to use this kind of medium with blind children, because of the important amount of material available. The main problem is that such applications use only visual interface. A sighted child will navigate in the application using a mouse, through various visual displays.
