Hi all.

Some of you may have seen this so apologies if you already know...  See below about a 
webinar that I am presenting on Thursday morning at 8am Australian time this week.  For

Access and NVDA, the free screen reader that many of you know about.  This is all done

A promo for the webinar is below.

Webinar:  NVDA: Non Visual Desktop Access: The free and open source Windows Screen Reader 
that's closing the digital divide!

Imagine!  A free public Webinar about a free screen reader that really works and is being 
used by more than 8% of all screen reader users world wide in over 20 languages!  It's 
NVDA - it's free - it's open source - it's portable - it works on any Windows based PC - 
and it's functionally comparable to commercial offerings.

NV Access inc. an Australian not-for-profit organisation supports and manages NVDA.  "We 
believe that accessibility should not be an extra cost for the user.  Blind and vision 
impaired people have the right to access technology at no more cost than their sighted 
peers.  Our goal is to make that happen!"

So register to hear one of the founders of NV Access talk about how well managed Free & 
open source software can further these goals and hear how NVDA is really closing the 
digital divide for blind and vision impaired users across the globe.

Presenter:  Mat Mirabella, secretary and co-founder of NV Access Inc.
