Visual impairment need not limit access to computer facilities and resources. Here you can learn about what is available from public libraries by the Government and non-governmental organisations to help the visually impaired in Hong Kong.

30 public libraries in Hong Kong provide workstations equipped with special aid devices for the visually impaired. These include screen magnification software, Cantonese and English screen readers and Easy Dots, Chinese input software that is customised for the visually impaired.

Refreshable Braille display devices are also available at the Hong Kong Central Library and at the City Hall, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun Public Libraries.
