Captured by the Net: An Internet Guide for Blind Users

This book fills the gap between mainstream books on the Internet and specialized tutorials for the blind--both of which already exist. "Captured by the Net" is written specifically for blind individuals who want to know how to comparison shop for an Internet Service Provider, what hardware and software to buy to enhance access, which mail and newsreaders work best with speech and braille, accessible search tools, and so on. The book is intended for first-time users of the Net, via DOS or Windows. Even if you are already hooked up, there's a wealth of information on shopping, audio, chat rooms, newsreaders, talking via voice, radio and songs. Available in braille (two volumes), large print, audiocassette, and ASCII disk.
