Welcome to the web site for a-technic - the UK registered charity specialising in technology to help people with disabilities.

a-technic's charitable objects (i.e. our 'mission', or purpose) are basically to research, develop and promote adaptive and assistive technologies. That means any application of technology that helps people with physical disabilities to cope with day to day living, to integrate better with society at large and to get more out of life.

The projects below are what we are currently working on. Although there is a bias towards projects to benefit the vision impaired, this is not an intentional policy of a-technic - it is simply that these are the most promising ideas that have come up so far.

In fact, Apple has built many accessibility solutions directly into its products as standard features. VoiceOver, screen-reading technology that’s part of Mac OS X, provides voice description and offers plug-and-play support for braille displays.

And iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, and other products support closed captioning.
