[bcab] Re: Wish List

Hmm, now you've got me thinking. What would I like to see in terms of 
technology.

A Car that blindnies can drive independently. Although I have a feeling that if 
we tried it most other people would prefer to start taking the train.

A Camera I can point at things and get it to read it to me. Think how useful 
that would be in presentations. Just point it at the PowerPoint screen at the 
front and jobs a gooden.

Access systems which you don't have to get a second mortgage to bye.

A fully accessible drawing and diagramming tool for the blind which can be 
linked to a plotter type device to tactile print the diagram and a pad which 
can be drawn on which instantly puts up the item you've just drawn. A bit like 
electronic germanphilm. You could then tap areas on the pad and then label up 
diagrams in the place you tapped.

A job where I do nothing and get paid an extortionate wage, though as it looks 
like footballers only get that privilege I think it'll never happen.

Cheers.
Nick.

Hi,

How about affordable digital TV with Audio Description, say Â40!  An 
accessible DVD Recorder for around Â150.  Come to think of it, Jaws for Â150 
and ZoomText for Â100 would be good too.

Phil
