BEIJING, July 22 -- Google now offers a special search engine for the visually impaired. The main difference is the websites are listed by user-friendly extensions.

    The scientist who developed the software is blind himself. He says a web page with complicated layouts and too much information is least user-friendly for the visually impaired because they usually need a magnifier to read it. For blind people using audio-synthesized software, this kind of webpage is also a waste of time when all the written characters are transformed into voices.

    The special engine is available still for trial use. It can be found at this address: http://labs.google.com/accessible.
