BBO for partially sighted players

Recommended Posts

I'm posting here at the suggestion of BBO support.

 

My wife has age-related macular degeneration, and is starting to struggle to see the computer screen (for those who don't know, AMD basically results in the centre of your vision 'clouding over', it's like seeing things through a fog which gets progressively thicker as the disease progresses).

 

Does anybody have any knowledge of software which would allow her to play unassisted on BBO via voice? Data entry is not a problem, as a former secretary and expert touch-typist she can still use a keyboard once she checks her hand positions, it's getting the information from the screen which is the problem.

 

Thanks for any ideas.

 

P.S. We can't play at an offline club with Braille cards, before anyone suggests it. She has other health issues which make it extremely difficult for her to travel, and the nearest offline club that we know about is more than 80 miles each way.
