I would not have asked the question without trying this. The Website does

Hi there folks,

So often when we buy a portable radio and CD player these days, we
find that we can only use some of the options that are available and the
others require at least some vision to use.

Well, a friend of mine is in a rather unique position, and here's what
he writes.

Hi Sam,

Right now, I'd like to tell you about a couple projects I'm involved in.

The Best Buy electronics retail chain is teaming up with an electronics
manufacturer to offer a blind-friendly radio. It's just in the planning 
stages
right now. I have a contact who is involved in the talks between Best 
Buy and the
manufacturer.

My friend would like to know the top ten things we as blind persons 
would
like to see in a radio. The first thing I said was to have a num pad on 
the
remote so we could put in a frequency. I'd also like to see a button 
that returns
all the menus and mode buttons to some pre-determined default settings 
so we
wouldn't get lost in the menus and sub menus. If the unit is going to 
have a multi-cd
changer, I'd like it to give an audible signal when the cd tray I select 
is empty
rather than automatically finding the next loaded one.

As you know, I have exactly two blind friends. But you seem to know
quite a few folks, one way or another. Would you mind asking as many 
people as you
can what they'd like to see in a blind-friendly radio and then send the
information to me?

I will pass it along to my friend and we will actually have some say
in the design and features set rather than having the sighted design it 
for us, not
knowing at all what we need or what would be helpful. If you're on any
blindness-related lists where the question would be appropriate, feel 
free to post the
question there and forward the info to me.

Hi Larry
The previous Jtunes was a payable upgrade - I'm not sure but I think it's
about £30. It works fairly well and certainly makes Itunes workable. It has
one or two restrictions but in general is good. The new version sounds just
what we need and so as you can see I'm keen to get it.

2008-04-03 Thread Caroline
actually, what I think Bruce was asking wasn't necessarily where it could be 
found, but how to find it on the site.  I've been through the forum which is 
where the original message stated that it could be gotten from, and I can't 
seem to find it.  We're both paid product owners, so knowing the site isn't 
the issue here, it's finding the beta, which hasn't proven to be very easy 
so far.

this post concerning the updated version of the program is actually the
first that I've heard of it. Do you own the previous version? can you tell

To date, as far as I know, this application represents the only means by

For whatever my info might be worth, I asked the Window-Eyes folks if their

Re: Wireless Keyboards and Wireless Headphones

Some time ago I sent the following email to a British access group, I hope 
it may help:

Hi Listers

A couple of months ago I commented to the list that I'd tried a number of 
wireless keyboards, none of which I could recommend to others on the list.

These included keyboards from Microsoft, belkin, trust, 2 from logitec, 2 
from creative and 3 from PC World. The problems were equally associated with 
strange
keyboard layouts as with the poor range of the systems.

However, I have just  bought 2 new cherry marlin keyboards which meet all 
the features I've always wanted in a wireless keyboard.

They are of the modern flat design, with positive key travel, with no bounce 
and a slight click. The layout is exactly standard, with 3 groups of 4 
function
keys and a proper sized delete key together with an insert key. In fact the 
keyboard has the feel of a highly professional  unit, for a price of £40 
plus
VAT and delivery.

The great thing about the keyboard is the range which is quoted as 10 
metres, but I've tried it outside in the garden about 15 metres from the 
sender and
through two internal walls and an exterior wall - albeit in my modern house, 
so I don't know what the range would be outside of an older house with stone
walls. But I would think that it would travel inside a house from say a 
computer in the bedroom down to the lounge.

The sender/receiver is very small being approximately one inch by two 
inches. It uses the 2 GHz range rather than the more usual 500 MHz range, 
but it doesn't
seem to affect my wi-fi system, although the further away the sender is from 
the router, the more reliable the  key presses become.

I have no experience of the optical mouse other than saying that the feel is 
equally professional and it comes with a charging cable that when fitted 
during
recharging, allows the mouse to be used just like a corded mouse, so users 
can always use it irrespective of the state of the rechargeable batteries.

The keyboards can be purchased from: tekdata on 01782.665500.
