Lighthouse International, a leader in advocating accessibility for people with low vision, is announcing an innovative new add-on software tool that will enable millions of people worldwide with low vision to access previously inaccessible web pages. While existing programs enable blind people to access the web effectively, LowBrowse⢠is the first program to enable people with moderate or severe low vision to both view web pages as the original web author intended and read the text on those pages tailored to their own visual needs. The highly anticipated program, which runs in conjunction with the Mozilla Firefox browser, will be offered at no charge and is expected to be available to the public for download via the Firefox add-on site in late summer or early fall of 2008.

WaSP has always been about the grass roots. The very reason for our existence is to represent our peers in standing up to The Big Boys with a common voice. And hey, look, it works! But guess what, this is 2007 and weâre all about the long tail now. Itâs not the big boysâ butts we need to kick so much as the little boys, and to do that we need to flip this thing on its head. The WaSP Street Team is about you. No, not all the other YOUs reading this but YOU you, in your actual skin. The idea is that together we create a number of tasks - challenges if you will - to help the promotion of web standards in your local community. Things that will help get the word out to the businesses, educational institutions, web shops and individuals who live and operate directly near you. As a central group itâs hard for us to reach those people, but as a distributed team, itâs easy.
