E-Access Bulletin
The world's leading newsletter on access to technology by blind people and people with impaired vision.

E-Access Bulletin (external site, new window) is the world's leading monthly, text-only email newsletter containing independent, lively news and features on all issues surrounding access to technology by people who are blind or have impaired vision. It is free for anyone to receive, by simply emailing a special address (eab-subs@headstar.com).

All the bulletin's content is newly researched, and written or commissioned by Headstar's own journalists. The newsletter is emailed out in plain text format, with all formatting designed to be easy to read by the text-to-speech and text-to-Braille technology used by many blind people.

Technologies such as the internet and mobile phones can be a great liberator to people with impaired vision, but only if they are designed in an accessible way. We believe it is vital that accessibility for all is built into new technologies from the outset, not only for reasons of social inclusion and equality but also because it makes good business sense. Bulletin coverage focuses on this issue and includes the latest news about digital books, accessible online learning, digital TV and digital radio.
