Hi I'm looking for any advice on a tablet or software that can assist my severely registered sighted wife, I've upped all the fonts and zooms available on her present tablet, regards Nick.

    Hello @Nick269

    Welcome to the community! :) 

    The RNIB have many great articles on Technology Support that I hope you'll find helpful.

    @Nick269 I don't the same issues as your wife, but my CP does mean I need to adapt technology, as I need to be able to operate my PC hands free as far as possible. . I used a charity called AbilityNet, https://abilitynet.org.uk/ to help me get the right technology. I can't speak highly enough of them. They were so supportive, and even arranged for me to try the tech before I decided what to buy. That was in the early 2000s,  I went back for more advice when I needed to upgrade in 2016. I'm still using what they recommended and am delighted with it.

    Thank you for sharing your tips and experience with us @JudithL. As you say, although your needs are different in some ways, the charity AbilityNet can help with a range of needs.

    Really glad to hear you received the support you needed and deserve and this has meant you have had access to the technology you needed - and still supporting you today  :)
