I'm In Tears As....
86 Answers
Dear all,(I'm in tears as I type this, with help from a dear friend.)
It is with deep sorrow that I have to tell you all that my sight is deteriorating at a great speed, I am finding it increasingly difficul to read an email from you, I do not want you to think I am ignoring you when I don't reply. It is soo frustrating that even with aids I have to give in to defeat.
My years of contact with you all have kept me ticking over through some bad and difficult times. I feel you have all been my friends and have helped me to cope. I really don't want to do this but its stressing me out too much.
My H has been my eyes & helped me a lot butI can'tcontinue like that

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Jem, if your computer is fairly recent you can use the built in voice recognition in Windows to control your computer and to produce text. Go to the help menu and take from there, I've had a look at it on my desktop, it seems to be straightforward. I think it also converts text to speech.Good luck with it, we will miss you so give it a go.
Hi Jem,
This is sad news which I am sorry to hear.
If you feel you have to leave us, then we all wish you well. But there is a way to continue using the web without sight - some of which I don't know if you have tried....
Woodelf, a long time contributor to these pages uses something called "Thunder Screen Reader"
You can download it directly here: http:// www.web bie.org .uk/thu nder/Th underSt orm-Ins taller. exe
(The download should start straight away)
Thunder Screen Reader reads out the content of a webpage. Woodelf directs his Thunder browser to:
http:// m.thean swerban k.co.uk /
Because it has less clutter for the screen reader to read.
This might be the place to start.
While we are not experts there are many of us who will do our best to help you get this kind of thing set up if you wish.
All the best,
Ed & Team.

I'm not sure if it is RNIB or someone else but there are charities that will come to your home to configure your computer for those with sight issues. I would assume they will take their clients onto voice activated systems when it is necessary.
Perhaps your GP, nurse, optician whatever healthcare/support services you use could advise you.

This is the RNIB site, have a look at the link, I hope it helps.
