January 12, 2010 /

To do so, he’s learning how to use what’s known as a screen reader, a software product that reads text on a Web site aloud and identifies areas where search terms or other information can be entered.
“Anything you can do with a mouse I can or will be able to do using a screen reader,” Reed said.
