Sounds like a cool idea, as I guess we Blindies are using a lot of Audio gadgets, hardware and software. Deon [G.

Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 5:00 PM Subject: [Blind] All Things Audio Hi all, For some time now I've been toying with the idea of facilitating a audio workshop, where we can network and talk about all things audio, such as accessible sound software, DAISY and adapted MP3 players, recorders, speakers, headphones, audio books, DVS movies etc. I'm certain we could get hardware distributors such as the likes of Sennheiser and Bose to come along and show us their latest kit. I'm also reasonably confident that Sensory Solutions and the SANCB would be happy to be there along with us with their audio-related assistive technology. Hopefully we could get the folk from DAISY South Africa to join us, as well as of course BlindLib and Tape Aids. I envisage a one day event with an exhibition/demo element and perhaps around nine or so 20-minute product presentations. Please share your thoughts, I'm personally by no means an expert on the subject of audio but find it incredibly interesting. Neville N.J. Clarence Neville Clarence Technologies (Pty) Ltd.
