(NARRATOR) Carlos Javier Cortina. Psychology student at UNED
(CARLOS) My name is Carlos, I study Psychology at UNED and I have a visual impairment.
It affects the central vision, which is the vision that is used for reading and recognizing faces.
I lost the ability to read and what I do to access
the computer is to use a voice synthesis program and screen magnification that delivers
audio information and you can play with the size, enlarging or reducing screens.

(CARLOS) I got my program through the ONCE, which provides it for students
because it has a high cost, but it is a program that is on the market
and is used by many people who have vision problems.
When reading books the format used by a person who has a visual impairment
is DAISY audio books. These books are recorded by human voice, in my case ONCE also does the work,
and they consist of a series of files that allow you to navigate through levels
to be able to locate information faster. It can be done,
through a standard DAISY player or through the computer,
you can insert the disc into your computer and there are a number of players that can read it to you.

(CARLOS) Text manuals are reproduced with the DAISY format I have told you about
but the notes used by the other students, in order to be able to read them,
what I do is download them as everyone else, from the UNED forums
and generate audio files that are accessible to me with a software, which can be read on an MP3 player.
And I can also use them when I'm on the tube or anywhere,

(CARLOS) Both DAISY books and MP3 files I have told you about can be put
into a mobile phone, which is further adapted, for interaction with the mobile phone
it is done through audio, and I can take them anywhere and play anywhere,
both the books and the MP3 files.

(CARLOS) Another way to access information would be through access to printed media,
the information that you gets to you on paper. There would be two ways,
OCR by scanning the document (Keyboard) 064, c 020 ...
(CARLOS) and turning it into digital media or using telelupe optics. What you do is:
you place the paper and it brings out an image that you can play with.
As for mobility, I use a GPS, in this GPS the interaction is performed through voice,
you have here a few buttons and it gives you audio information. It also incorporates a radio
and MP3 which can also carry the information from the notes I told you about.
