[NTLUG:Discuss] Accessibility software

[Tom Tumelty]

Hi,
I have a friend who has a vision problem i have heard called "Low Vision"
and wants software to magnify the computer screen. I have found a few open
source programs and wondering which is best option :

1) dual boot windows/ubuntu using gnome-orca or other accessibility software
on ubuntu.

2) using virtualization.




I am wondering, if  windows is the virtualized OS, would the magnification
in gnome-orca also magnify the windows virtualized environment.


Does anybody have any suggestions ?


Thanks in advance,
Tom
