From: "Tony Grima" <agrima@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 08:19:09 -0400 Using the Accessible iPod By Anna Dresner In braille, PortaBook, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats, $15 (Also downloadable in PortaBook, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats) Cute, well-designed, and able to hold hundreds or thousands of songs, iPods have taken the world by storm. And in the past few months, Apple has added another feature to their popular Nano and Shuffle models -- the ability to speak. Once you take a few simple steps, every feature on the iPod Shuffle and most features on the Nano are completely accessible. iTunes now works better for blind people than ever before, especially the iTunes store. If you're wondering how to take advantage of this new accessibility, Using the Accessible iPod can help. It tells you how to do everything you need to get up and running with one of the new iPods, including: * Getting started with iTunes * Putting the music, playlists, audiobooks and podcasts you want on your computer and into your iPod * Getting your iPod to speak * Using all accessible features of your iPod A troubleshooting section, a list of helpful resources, and information on how your iPod organizes music are also included; see the table of contents for more information. Whether you've never owned an iPod before or you'd like to be able to do more with the one you have, this book will help. The included iPods are the fourth generation Nano and the second and third generation Shuffles. In addition to braille and electronic text, we are proud to offer Using The Accessible iPod in DAISY format, both on CD and for download. (If you choose to download the DAISY version, we recommend that you use a broadband connection, as the file is over 60 MB in length.) Put it in your Victor Reader Stream or other DAISY player, or if you use JAWS, Freedom Scientific has generously arranged for it to work with the demo version of FSReader, so you don't need any new software to listen on your computer or read with a braille display. You can quickly navigate by heading or page to find the section you want. In addition to synthesized audio, the full text is included to make searching or moving through URLs quick and easy.
