ISOs and the print disabled

This article describes some of the work of the European Community funded project — Communication and Access to Information for People with Special Needs in the (CAPS) Programme Technology Initiative for Disabled and Elderly (TIDE). CAPS is developing ways of increasing access to information for a significant group of handicapped and elderly persons who have difficulty in accessing the printed word. The print disabled group includes the blind, the deaf blind, the visually impaired, the dyslexic and those with motor impairments which make it difficult to control paper documents.
