Hello Victoria.
Good luck in your effort in trying to contact your cable company, to tell
them about this technology regarding accessability too on screen menus.
Unfortunately, I have tried for many years either through letters and phone
calls, to talk too them about this problem that we as blind people have, and
have met with more resistants then I care too tell you about. Even our
local chapter of the a c b here in New your city, wrote them a letter asking
them if they could send a representative from the company, too discuss this
on going problem, and as yet, we never hurd from them at all. I even took
it upon myself at one point, too write a letter, as well as making a few
phone calls, and have had no success for my efforts. This is what happens,
when companies put profit, before customers concerns, and feel that they are
so large, that they don't have too account too anyone for there actions.

Here here! I think that you're appsolutely right! I'm trying to figure
out how to contact the company making Ocean Blue Software. My cable
company is an easy matter to contact and I will let them know about this
and urge others in my blind community to request this.
Since this adaption is possible, do you think that it might lead to on
screen accessibility to DVD information? That's been a major
disappointment of mine for years! I thought when I first got computer
with a TV tuner card and Windows XP entertainment Center, that all this
info would now be accessible. Oh foolishly, over optimistic, sadly
disappointed, me!

Yes, I finally got the chance too read it. I have been trying for
years, fighting with our cable company to provide us with the ability to
be able too access those dammed on screen menus, but have had no success.
I hope that this technology will finally open a door that has been closed
too us. If their's a way too do it, I think that we should all send them
an email thanking them for trying to develop this project, and send them
stories of our frustration in trying too get the cable industry in
particular, too listen too our concerns especially when you consider the
fact that we who are blind, and listen too movies and other events, pay a
monthly subscription service and don't have the same rightsthat people
with vision have.

Hi Albert, Were you able to read this fantastic article? I sure hope
we'll be able to get it and that it will work with JAWS!
The article says that RNIB will be carrying Ocean Blue's Software. I
went to RNIB's web page and I couldn't find how to request more info on
this product. If anyone can figure that out, would you let us know? If
this is not yet proper for this list, you can write me offline at:
vrvaug...@mailzone.com
Many thanks for sharing this exciting information! Vicky
