Disablitied and computing BY KIERON REED

deafness  You can have an icon at the bottom of the screen so when the person presses the icon it plays the video they want with subtitles so that they can know what is going on in the video. If the person is only a little bit blind then the website need to put colours like black and cyan blue so the person can see the colours and what they show easily. Using a icon on the side of the screen will help the deaf because they will be able to watch a normal video and know what is going on without hearing the video but seeing subtitles on the screen.

blindness  You can plug headphones into the computer and that will turn on voice commands and all information on the site will be read out to the user so the person knows what site they have clicked on and know what is on the site as well. Voice commands will be easier than any other method because all the person needs to do is speak and the computer will pick up what they say and will do what the person asked the computer to do.

How software can help People with disabilities have to rely on either software or hardware like voice commands so that if the person cant use their limbs properly then they could use their voice is software and hardware is something like a eye gazer which helps use the mouse with the persons eye instead of using their limbs to use the computer. Software like jaws reads out all of the information on the page and will say whatever the user is doing for an example if the user hovers over a link then jaws will read out the link that has been hovered over.
