>If you can’t see the computer screen you can’t use a mouse so you need everything to talk to you. Thunder turns an ordinary PC into a talking computer so that you can keep an address book, write letters, notes, essays and reports, send emails to friends and family and get all the information you need from the internet with Thunder’s internet browser, WebbIE. You can hear what you type spoken back to you letter by letter or word by word or read your whole document. Thunder has lots of features that help you know where you are, find out about the appearance of what you write, mark things you want to find again and much more. If you know Visual Basic Scripting you will be able to adapt Thunder to work with more applications.

>Its Keystrokes are intuitive.

>Thunder works with MS Word, Notepad, WordPad, Outlook Express, Excel and the internet with WebbIE. We hear from users that it works well with other programs, and we have a development plan to extend its usability. Thunder is friendly to use because of its new technology. Manuals and help files are on the website and training packages are also available. There is a modest licence fee for organisations. The great thing ­ it’s free to individuals to download
