Doesnt the blind brothers deserve better spaech? And let it even speaks out images. Dont say this is not easy. we already have smile shutters (TM) In cameras worth just 6000Rs. Dear, imagine how good a blind brother wud feel when his email says "and there is a picture of a beautiful lady in the window, smiling at you in blue dress". It bring tears to eyes. Comments on blinds perception of blue dress will not be answered until i study the situation. A smile shutter recognizes face in a video straem,locks focus and clicks wen it smiles. > > This thread should have turned into a very constructive discussion > regarding the usability of desktop linux, but instead its just mails > asking mods to ban person A or B.
