Subject: [ATI] The cost of being blind.
All,
I am compiling a list of hardware, software and other devices
that a blind person would need to live a more independant life. I know that
there are quite a few items that I am not thinking of, so if you would please
add any item you feel should be included in the list below. This could include
medical devices that a person would use on a daily or weekly basis.Also, if you
have a ballpark figure of what that device would cost, please include that
information.
Screen reader - $1,200.00
OCR program - $1,100.00
Pearl camera - $600.00
Braille display $2,000 - $5,000
Note taker $2,000 - $5,000
Dasey reader - $300.00
This is a very short list so anything you can add will be appreciated.
Thanks,
