Needs Based Information Resource / Low Vision


Computing and low vision - keyboard access When it comes to improving computer access for a vision impaired user, the keyboard is the obvious place to start. Keyboard Stickers, Large Print Gloves and Large Print Keyboards can all make life a lot easier at home, work or at college. So how do you choose from a wide range of products and prices?
	Keyboard Stickers - view online One of the most obvious challenges for the vision impaired computer user is being able to see the lettering on the keyboard. A quick, easy and budget solution is to attach high visibility stickers to the keytops. Available in a choice of colour contrasts to suit the user, they are also available for laptops as well. Particularly ideal for individuals who only use a computer occasionally.

	KidGlove Keyboard - view online The Kid Glove keyboard comes complete with keyboard and choice of high visibility glove, available in either high contrast black on yellow keys or white on black keys. The gloves are also a useful way of protecting the keyboard from dust, dirt, and liquid spill and can be easliy cleaned. Kid Glove keyboards are ideal for use in multi-user environments like classrooms and libraries.

	Visikey Keyboard - view online The Visikey is a multi-media keyboard with large white lettering printed on a standard layout. Additionally shortcut keys are provided for handling internet and audio / video functions. A good choice for students and home users who want to access sound files and internet.

	Large Print Keyboard - view online This is a very high quality keyboard made by Cherry and features high definition laser etched keys. This keyboard is the professional choice and will suit intensive keyboarders and touch typists. Its durability makes it ideal in public access areas and is equally appropriate for everybody.

	Large Format Keyboards (BigKeys) - view online BigKeys keyboards are the same size as standard keyboards but with fewer, larger keys. The keys are 10 times bigger than standard with large print lettering. This gives the vision impaired user a much larger area in which to hit the key, reducing the number of typing errors. Available with white, black or colour keys. In particular, the high contrast white lettering on black keys is ideal for low vision users. The BigKeys has been the standard choice for many years and has proven very popular choice with older users, especially those unfamiliar with computers.
