Hello all:
I have just received an invitation from a very important an mexican institution

me an offer feel free.

True, but there is a high probability that if you have VO running you
probably are visually impaired. Likewise my previous test of MSAA being
in use on a machine also does not guarantee the user was running a
screen reader or even had a disability, but it didn't pass the sniff
test. I have know

I get your point but, how does using voiceover identify your disability? I

I understand where you are coming from, but it is good to see that there are

For example, the Braille PPen with 12 cells for $999 is not a bad price even

Hi,
Why shouldn't they want to make money? Its a company, not a not for profit
agency after all. The people that work there can't feed themselves on the
gratitude of blind people. Now, should they price gouge? Of course not. But
to admit you want to make money is no bad thing in my eyes.
There are two models; a stand alone model and a model that is based on a
digital camera attached to your computer and the EyePal software in your
Windows or Apple computer.

I thought the IPal was a full computer in of itself. I thought it was one of
those like the GW Small Talk or OQO with a camera built in. I might be thinking
of a different one, but if this was the same one, isn't the computer irrelevant
besides transferring saved files?

I didn't see an answer to this question. Did you mean .wmv since you are
talking about video? .wma is an audio format. That said, assuming you
meant .wmv, you can convert after the fact using QuickTime Pro which
lets you open a video file and SaveAs .wmv format. Hope this helps.
