Hello Simon,

The RNIB site is a natural starting point, as others have suggested.
However you may be interested in some new and affordable software
which has not yet been listed on the RNIB site (as far as I'm aware).
It is called WordAloud, and you can download a free evaluation copy
from www.wordaloud.co.uk.  It was developed by my company, Cloudworld
Ltd., based in Chiswick, London, see www.cloudworld.co.uk.  There is
an independent review of WordAloud on www.largeprintreviews.com,
see "What's New?".  BTW, this site has much which may be of
interest to people who are partially sighted.

Cheers from Chiswick,

John

P.S.  There's a special offer of UKP 19.95 (excl. VAT) for a personal
copy of WordAloud, or $29.95 for the US, until 12th September.
