Software For The Blind

My sister is blind and would like to know how to use a computer. I have trained her to memorize the keyboard and where all the numbers are. All I need is a program that speaks what's written on AIM, the internet, and emails and stuff like that. Anybody?

After giving a glimpse to my sources, and if they don't satisfy your needs, go to www.download.com and search for software with the keyword "text to speech"! A LOT of software to choose from!!!

I am in a small business, and I believe that there has been web-tracking software put on our server. Fine with me, but I would like to blind the server to the sites I visit. Is there free software that will allow me to do this?

You can do this, however; if the company put web filtering and/or tracking software on the server then they have concerns over proper use of the computers. Violating this could get you fired.

Most proxy servers will get you around this but those are probably monitored and/or blocked.

The one most commonly used (and the one I'm using now) is called JAWS. There's also WindowEyes. Google them, or look up JAWS on FreedomScientific.com.

I recently played poker at a friend's house and he had a software on his computer that kept track of players, blinds, when blinds would raise, etc. It told who had big blind, small blind, and the dealer. I'd like to find whatever software this was or something similar to it.

Is there any free software that does this? If not, I'd still like to know where I can buy the software and decide if I want to purchase it.

Thanks :)

There are a few softwares that track stats.
The best 2 are Poker tracker 3 and Hold em manager.
and don't do a sign up bonus deal for a free one its not worth it in the long run. just pay the 90 bucks for more info on why not to get one through a sign up deal go to http://s1.webstarts.com/sitnbitch/
