Dolphin Guide version 6 release
Offering new horizons for computer users with low vision
29th Jul, 2010
We are pleased to announce the release of Dolphin Guide v6. Designed to help users retain independence, Dolphin Guide presents simple menus accessed with single key presses to make using a computer much easier.
Mary McMahon of Dolphin Computer Access North said: "For many people computers seem daunting and they just don't know where to start. For a person with reduced sight, they can be even more intimidating. Our software helps them to start to use a computer quickly and easily. We launched Dolphin Guide many years ago and it has become a firm favourite with users who just want to use computers without asking for help. With version 6 we have made it even easier to use, giving people with low vision access to computers, while delivering peace of mind every step of the way."
Dolphin Guide v6 allows the user to:
- Send & Receive email
- Browse the Internet
- Write Letters & Documents
- Listen to Podcasts & Internet Radio
- Play CDs and MP3s
- Scan and Read printed materials
- Play Games
Mary said: "What Guide v6 does is return independence to people despite their failing sight. Computers are part of everyday life now and for people losing their sight, the thought that they might have to give up using them is a major concern. Our software means that they do not need to do that. Guide v6 has been designed with simple, easy computing at its foundation. It is so simple that even people with little or no computer skills can start using a computer."
Gil Smith, who runs Low Vision Supplies of Billingham, Teeside, is one of the expert practitioners who recommend Dolphin Guide software on a daily basis for clients with conditions including macular degeneration.
He said: "Dolphin Guide enables my clients to do the things they did on the computer before they started to lose their sight, like writing documents, reading emails and accessing websites. The web is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family near and far, and the Dolphin Guide software allows users to do just that."
