They seem to offer a range of services to the visually handicapped, including Braille editions of magazines, electricity bills in Braille and large print, a service that transcribes email into Braille and sends it by postal mail, Braille adaptation of services of mobile phone operators, Braille bulletins during the Sydney Olympics, the World Cup site, toll-free telephone bulletins during the Tour de France Cycle race. They signed a partnership agreement with FIFA to have real time feeds during the World Cup although the site doesn't look like a transformation, rather a manually produced summary. It seems like a service that's oriented towards the diverse needs of the visually handicapped, rather than oriented towards any particular technology.

The site does not require anyone to hand over an email address, you just have to create a nickname and password so that you can access the site each time with your visual parameters. The site does, however, rely on JavaScript to do this. However, I have just accessed the site in Lynx without having to enter any information, although there are some areas that could be improved... > > > > May I suggest that everyone tries this out to see if it does what it says on the tin, so to speak. > > > > Thanks David, this looks interesting. > > > > Kind regards to all > > Simon > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: David Sloan [mailto:DSloan@computing.dundee.ac.uk] > > Sent: 03 July 2002 15:50 > > To: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org > > Subject: HandiCapZero > > > > > > > > The World Cup in Korea/Japan has now finished, but looking at the home page > > of the official World Cup web site [1] today I noticed a link to 'Access for > > the Visually Impaired'. > > > > This takes users to a new site [2] run by an organisation called > > HandicapZero which appears to allow access to the World Cup site via some > > transformation software named 'Confort de Lecture' which I guess presents > > content in 'accessible' form.
