Brief Description

Computers for the Blind (CFTB), which was formerly The Texas Center for the Visually Challenged, is a volunteer organization that provides affordable refurbished computers with accessibility software to persons who are blind or visually impaired. Our computers are equipped with a licensed version of MAGic without speech screen magnification software and NVDA screen reader software. The computers also have trial versions of JAWS screen reader software and Talking Typing Teacher, a talking typing tutorial software. It is our hope that each person who is visually impaired may experience the information age in a positive and productive manner. We believe technology opens new worlds and creates opportunity for greater personal freedom and employment.
