Assistive technologies are comprised of hardware and software offerings that serve the needs of persons with disabilities. These include screen readers and screen magnifiers for the blind and visually impaired persons; speech recognition for persons with mobility impairments; and Braille translation and formatting facilities to automate the process of conversion from regular print to braille (and vice versa). Solutions are also available for individuals with color blindness, cognitive learning disabilities, and varying degrees of paralysis (mobility) impairment.
