Today we pay attention to the visually impaired, for them We have prepared two software with which they will be able to know what is on the screen.
NVDA is a screen-reader software, it is in English and a little robotic synthesizer sounds, which is why I turned to Yvonne, a pretty Romanian digital voice who knows very well, even with diactitice.
Normally NVDA should go in tandem with the synthesis engine of Windows, unfortunately it still does not support the Romanian language, so I turned to Carmen (voice of IVONA Romanian).
I tried to keep everything as simple as possible, we have to consider that people with sight problems have much experience on the PC, I hope I was able to simplify the process of setting up.
Before I found these simple settings I searched and tried several solutions, we stayed in the couple NVDA + Ivona, this setting is simple with the best results.
Since this tool can benefit different categories of users, not necessarily just the blind. Even sloths can use this setup for reading books without pictures.
Download NVDA (From sourceforge.net)
Download Ivona (Commercial, free trial)

Yes, there is and Loquendo, and sounds super good, http://www.loquendo.com/en/demo-center/tts-demo/romanian/ It sounds great, but I have bought. Even Tirala not I found this software. Does 2 voices Joan and Michael.
Eh, while the blind use voice synthesis and / or other programs that are based screen reader. Good that you touched and explained this type of utility programs. Another software is JAWS from Freedom Scientific, mainly voice in Italian. It seems that for them, deficientii of view, it's easier to work with it: office, internet and email, instant messaging.
These softwares are useful in case the user gets bored reading (news, text tutorial, etc.).
When you tutorial with OnLive + + tablet: MINI CONSOLE CONTROLLER?
We will have something even better, surprise ...
oooo, I can't wait .....! ONCE?
Hello!
Thank you thought of us, but the world must know that blind people use the computer since the roar of windows 95.
There are at least very good 3 screen readers for Windows and JAWS I mean, COBRA, Supernova and not least NVDA.
Linux, the most used is ORCA. Just like you said and you in turorial, it sure would be if these screen readers and their voices should be subsidized even if not free as in fact happens all over the world.
Very few people know that blind people can use a computer as did those who see, obviously, with little interest and patience as it is otherwise in the case of those without vision problems.
maybe you surprised to know that the site Association of the Blind http://www.anvr.ro Pontes association or website http://www.pontes.ro are made even blind.
I myself am blind and through site http://www.tiflo.ro I try to give a helping hand to those with vision problems.
Cristi sorry to tell you but for the blind such software is useless, there has long been a software that can not be replaced (at least that's what the blind say) is called JAWS for Windows and is produced by Freedom Scientific and costs a lot of money and some states subsidize him to see what software it is, it takes you a long time to learn it, but how much does he know how to do ...
I am blind and use something but NVDA, but jaws. 13 14 jaws and jaws are used for PC and are much better than NVDA. I did scriptures sites and jaws. it is for phones and PCs. if you want to really help the blind and tutorials can give you more details and how to install and some keyboard shortcuts that you know how to better explain to people how I would do it myself. I'm glad you thought of the blind seer who bully you first do this. again good luck in what you do.
Look what I found ... Does the song sound familiar to you? :)

NVDA uses the CPU a lot.
