Free Internet Voice Conferencing to the Visually Impaired

Published: Jun 21, 2007

OcuSource.com, LLC and Talking Communities has announced the formation of an alliance between the companies to provide a comprehensive worldwide voice-chat community for visually impaired consumers, their caregivers and the professionals who service them.

Founder and CEO of OcuSource.com, Dr. Lou Lipschultz said, “Our goal is to provide a place where visitors can speak with a family member anywhere in the world without additional cost, can communicate with others with similar interests locally and abroad, and can participate in online presentations or educational events.

The communities are organized in logical categories. The visitor then clicks on a desired room and is brought to an Internet Explorer browser window with a login screen. Nearly all rooms are open access and can be entered without a password. After the log in, the visitor is then directed to a second window where, in addition to voice-chat capabilities, several resources can be viewed; the list of others in the room, a conventional text chat area, and a large browser window were Web pages or other documents can be shared with other viewers. Rooms are available for discussions, training, business presentations and more, all from the comfort of the user’s computer.
