Hi. This is my first post so apologies if I haven't quite got it right. 🤦🏼♀️ My grandad is 90. He's about 95% blind with macular degeneration, classed as legally blind and is the most stubborn man you'll ever meet. A few years ago before his sight really started to deteriorate he did a computing course at his local library. He uses an incredibly old PC at the moment, mainly to print off pictures, print off annotations for his millions of stamps/ family albums and also uses the copier function on his printer. I've just bought him a "new" refurbished PC as a gift and I want to set it up to make it more accessible for him before I hand it over. I am going to make the backgrounds yellow/black text, increase font sizes, add the magnifier etc. Is there anything else that would be of use to him? He's not particularly tech literate and absolutely has no patience so it really needs to be basic but helpful... 😂 Are there any programmes or apps that are useful for partially sighted, tech novices? Thanks. X
