The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) has recognized Microsoft's efforts to make technology accessible to people of all abilities.
On April 8, 2018, Microsoft along with Google and renowned activist Haben Girma will receive AFB's prestigious Helen Keller achievement award.

This award honors the legacy of Helen Keller, an activist, lecturer and author who was also the first person who was deaf and blind to ever earn a bachelor's of arts degree. For over four decades Keller was an AFB ambassador whose work, convictions and achievements inspired millions of people of varying abilities around the world.

The award bearing Keller's name recognizes exceptional individuals and organizations whose work expands the possibilities for people who are blind or visually impaired. This year, Microsoft will join the elite group to receive this honor.

Windows 8.1 phones are without a doubt the best smart phones on the market for older eyes. My mother will never give up her 1320.

Androids are a distant second.

IPhpnes don't even try.
