On this LINK the French Softonic has written a nice article about ” Eldy, le navigateur pour les personnes âgées”.
Here’s a brief abstract:
Avec les grands-parents, c’est souvent la même histoire. Des icônes illisibles, des textes trop petits, des fenêtres à n’en plus finir, il y a de quoi vite se décourager si vous n’avez jamais été en contact avec le monde de l’informatique. “De toute façon, je ne comprends rien! Ce n’est pas fait pour moi!”.
Oui mais voilà, c’était sans compter Eldy, un navigateur spécialement conçu pour les personnes âgées. Développé par une association sans but lucratif, voici un tour d’horizon de ses fonctionnalités très particulières. Avant de l’utiliser, vous devez bien entendu installer le programme. Eldy bénéficie d’un processus d’installation très simple et en français. Il vous suffit de suivre l’assistant et de cliquer sur “Suivant”. Pour cette étape, nous conseillons tout de même aux personnes du troisième âge de se faire accompagner.
Eldy est, à n’en pas douter, un bon logiciel qui mérite toute votre attention. Permettre aux personnes du troisième et quatrième âge de se lancer à la conquête du Web, voilà une très bonne idée de départ. A l’image des téléphones pour séniors, Eldy souhaite accompagner et faciliter l’accès des personnes âgées dans le monde du numérique et, plus précisément, d’Internet.
