this kind of thing is fascinating. Another example of how locally delivered solutions are replacing ones which require infrastructure modifications. Presumably this could also be made to work for TV or movies in the home via Netflix, Love film etc. Ian Macrae Editor Disability Now 6 Market Road London N7 9PW ++44 20 7619 7760 ext 7760 ++44 7824 900855 www.disabilitynow.org.uk<http://www.disabilitynow.org.uk> Follow us: @disabilitynow On 2 Jul 2013, at 14:17, Steve Nutt wrote: Hi Steve, Thanks for this, I have just sent them an Email offering to test on iShiny devices as well as Android.

Please email ad@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:ad@xxxxxxxxxxx> for more information. Audio description in cinemas - new update PARLAMO has developed a smartphone app that allows viewers to enjoy films in cinemas in their own language. PARLAMO is now hoping to use the same platform to deliver audio description. The main benefit of the app is that you can attend any film, at any screening and at any cinema without having to depend on the availability of in-cinema audio description equipment. TESTING: We are looking for blind and partially sighted volunteers who own smartphones and are willing to provide feedback on the accessibility changes that we plan to integrate into the PARLAMO app. The following tasks will be involved in testing of the app: 1. Evaluation of current user interface elements 2. Provide recommendation and suggestions to make the user interface elements accessible though use of position, voice labels and hints 3. Test and provide feedback and recommendations for each enhanced accessible version as they are developed and refined General group communications and feedback will be via email ad@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:ad@xxxxxxxxxxx> Once we have completed the enhanced version of PARLAMO, volunteers will be invited to in-cinema testing events prior to the official release currently planned for London and Norwich but can be expanded to other locations for a larger volunteer group. To register your interest please contact us via email at ad@xxxxxxxxxxx. For those who may be interested in the current version of PARLAMO it can be downloaded via the Apple App Store (search for "parlamo"). -- RNIB is the place to come for information on accessible eBooks, which are transforming the reading experience for blind and partially sighted people.
