Going Linux #434 · Welcome to Linux! Pt6 - Accessibility Software

from Going Linux · host Larry Bushey

In this episode we highlight some of the available accessibility software that Ubuntu Mate has and how to use it. Accessibility software can help everyone to use a computer and use it to get things done. All without breaking the bank. Accessibility, also referenced as "Assistive Technology" or "Universal Access," is a key priority for Ubuntu MATE. When computer access is shared within a household or business and where individual needs differ, Ubuntu MATE is an excellent solution. Episode Time Stamps 00:00 Welcome to Linux!
