Accessibility on Google

I don't know how many people realize the incredible number of features Google has. I was looking through some of the newer ones I hadn't checked out yet, and discovered that Google has developed a browser for the visually impaired. You can also access it by typing in http://labs.google.com/accessible/.

you type in your search topic as you would on regular Google. The results page is modified for the those with visual impairments. Only one result is highlighted at a time, in a different color, and the print is significantly enlarged. As you navigate through the results (by pressing the down arrow, or clicking on different results) a clicking sound occurs to indicate that a new result is being selected!

TRY IT!
