You asked how to make life easier for the handicapped, well , I am a blind
person, and I have a few suggestions to make, if you do not mind.
On elevators, put a voice to indicate the floor level that is being
stopped at, and put a voice on each button pressed to indicate where you
are pressing for.
I fo not use a wheel-chair as I am not in need of that sort of help.
As far as computers are concerned, I am well equipped with a synthetic
voice and a speech programme that works well for me.
Hope this may help.
Wally.
