Tech Talk 11 – Accessible Keyboards

Video Translation:

Andrew: Hello, my name is Andrew Howard. I’m working here at DBV and today I’ll show you some keyboard technology. My favourite keyboard, the one I’m most comfortable with, has black letters on a yellow background. You can buy it at Vision Australia or Quantum. It can connect to a Windows computer via Bluetooth. You can also connect it to iOS devices (phone/iPad) or Mac computer (iMac or MacBook) – there are two different keyboards. Oh, also mini, large print, and logic keyboards, and they come in four different colours. I have someone with me; can you introduce yourself?

Jackie: Hello, my name is Jackie. I like a keyboard with white text on a black background. That is more comfortable for me. It doesn’t hurt my eyes and is easy to see. The keys are large and clear.

Andrew: I understand. My colour preference is good for me, but each person has their own style that is comfortable for them and makes them confident using their keyboard.
