Tek Talk Archives description:
What's better, faster or slower? Join Darren Fittler and Gary Wunder as we
explore their experiences "from then and now".
We all feel increasing stress in the workplace to be efficient, increase our
personal, team and organization contribution and - to simply be faster! For
screen reader users there is often a frustration with how long it takes to
complete routine tasks and the annoyance of having to employ so many
"tricks"
to use software products designed for sighted users. To this add the simple
truth that many software products prevent navigation or present improper
labeling resulting in the screen reader saying "button, button, button,
button" as a poor substitute for meaningful identifiers. *sigh*
Then, there's ALT - able to simplify the complex tasks into simple shortcut
commands, without hotkeys, converting "difficult-and-challenging" to "easy".
We had an interview with the Architects of ALT in August 2012. This year
we're going to talk to two ALT users. Spanning two continents and two very
different careers, Darren Fittler (a lawyer, in Sydney Australia) and Gary
Wunder (the editor of the Braille Monitor magazine, in the U.S.) will share
on their experiences and the impact of ALT in their workdays. They have
the
common desire to work better, faster, smarter and use ALT to help in their
jobs - daily.
