The browser is designed to facilitate Internet use on PCs that run Windows 95 or higher. Different from a screen reader, the WeMedia talking browser becomes the actual browser through which one explores the Internet. Users can go from link to link using the up and down arrows on the keyboard, and can either select the text to be read aloud, or let the browser read the entire page. A tutorial helps guide users through the program. Organized buttons and keystroke commands enable easy navigation.
Users can control the appearance of the site by converting pages to text-only for easier visibility.
Users can also control the speed and volume at which the browser reads the Web page, as well as the color contrast of the screen. The browser can also assist students who have dyslexia. The unit is ergonomically designed and lightweight, with Braille and speech capabilities driven by dynamic software. Users can store hundreds of files and pages of Braille, and can read, write and manipulate Braille text. Forward and back Braille translators give flexibility in handling both text and Braille documents.
