Scott Wood, support officer for the blind, Charity Action for Blind People, served as the featured speaker during the chapter's April meeting. Wood, who has been blind for 35 years, provided an overview of how personal computers and the World Wide Web have given blind and visually impaired individuals access to information they otherwise would be unable to obtain. The visually impaired community now has greater employment and educational opportunities thanks to capabilities such as touch typing and synthetic speech output software. Wood also demonstrated how well-designed Web sites enable easy navigation for visually impaired users.
