Abstract
This paper presents a project which has been initiated in Switzerland in 1992 to provide people who are blind or visually impaired with daily newspapers. At present newspapers in Italian and German language are available. Articles are sent to a host computer from where the readers can download the files they want to read. An especially developed reading program enables the reader to select the articles of his or her interest.
