Adaptive Technology

In addition to the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped materials, patrons are welcome to take advantage of the available adaptive technologies at the Wyoming Branch:

  • JAWS: large screen computer available with JAWS screen reader software
  • Closed-Circuit Reader: a closed-circuit television that can be used to magnify printed materials
  • Duxbury Braille Translator: computer software that will translate regular text into Braille format to be printed
  • Braille Blazer: working in conjunction with Duxbury Translator software, prints out Braille text onto specialized embossing paper
  • Aladdin Ambassador: scans and reads printed materials aloud without the aid of a computer

Each Kent District Library branch is also equipped with a selection of handheld magnifiers for use within the library.
