A variety of enabling technologies such as synthetic speech, print enlargement on CRT screens, braille printers and displays, and communications technology has made library operations at the American Foundation for the Blind accessible to persons who are blind or visually impaired. INMAGIC software, a versatile database management system, has automated many library functions and has been integrated with other adaptive technologies. In addition to other applications, INMAGIC is used to update and create bibliographies and accession lists in inkprint, large print, or braille formats with tape cassette versions available on request. Sidebars discuss the XeroxKurzweil Personal Reader KPR closed circuit television CCTV computers with speech large print enhancements Inmagic, Inc.the company and, in some depth, the functionality of INMAGIC.
