[Blind-Computing] Cell phone softwre

I've been looking at cell phone software like Moble Speak. It does a whole lot more than what I need in a cell phone. Is there software that is cheaper, that will simply help me make phone calls and access my contacts? Blessings, Tom

[Blind-Computing] PDF to audio converter

Re: [Blind-Computing] PDF to audio converter

How do you send the files to Text Pal? I'm asking because I've been having trouble with pdf2txt lately, for some reason it refuses to convert files anymore, it gives an error message and closes every time I do, so can you explain how you use Text Pal to convert them? On 10/4/08, Annette Carr

Re: [Blind-Computing] Getting started with Skype

Yes you can, that's exactly what I do personally, and also, if you want to listen through your speakers with that combination headset and mike, you just take the headphone plug out, leaving the mike in, then it'll work just like a desktop mike. i've done that before too. Aiden - Original
