City computer classes lined up for blind

COMPUTER classes for the visually impaired are being held in conjunction with a local talking newspaper.

Lothian Sound, a charity that provides a weekly service reading stories from the Evening News to more than 600 visually impaired people in the region, has arranged the "Eye-T-4-All" event at the Bruntsfield Hotel today.

Lothian Sound chairwoman Janelle Scotland said it was funded by The British Computer Association of the Blind.
