  4. Continued… • KNFB Reading Software and Packages • Individuals with low vision can now use cell phone applications • “Screen readers which allow you to use mobile phone devices even if you cannot read the screen visually.” • KNFB Reading Software costs $995.00 • ZoomText Keyboard • Large print and high contrast colors on a keyboard • “The ZoomText keyboard makes typing faster and easier than ever before with its 36-point text and choice of high-contrast color schemes” • ZoomText Keyboard costs $99.00

  5.
