>Dear Blind-Dev,

>One of my close friends is going blind at a very young age of 40 due to
>RP. I was wondering if there are any computer systems available now for
>the blind. Specifically she works in sales. One that could handle a
>sales database where the user could request account information and dial
>that contact for the user.

>Please let me know if anything like this is availabe and anything else
>that is computer related, or telephone related. I just called Bell
>South and they said they only have phones for the hearing empaired and
>nothing for sight empaired.

>thank you
