I see the team talk working in conjunction with the TABI list. We would post to the list a topic of discussion and the time to meet. if you had time to meet that would be great.

It sounds good but if everyone starts getting on the band wagon I would beafraid that things would not get posted to the list and just talked about onthis. So list members that choose not to use this might be missing out on info just because they did not want to be doing conference calls so tospeak. Un less maybe you recorded the conference and put it up on a site asa podcast? Just some thoughts.

It's meant just for the users of the TABI list, but there's no reasonto restrict what we discuss in the voice conference, as there is on the list. the same rule of no personal attacks still holds however. Just as examples: Robert and Liz get to see a lot of new assistive technology products. I'd really appreciate it if every time they did, if they would get on the voice conference and spend just a couple minutes telling us about theproduct; if they have it in hand, even better as we can then ask them to do various things with it so we can get an idea how easy it is to use, and howit sounds.I'd like to offer some vista classes; say 15 minutes (or more if people are into it), on some aspect of vista (which would apply equally to windows 7),to help people get the most out of their new computers.I'd like to demo what can be done with the free voice recognition, not just dictation, but complete hands-free control of the computer (and now there's a bluetooth headset which is high quality, and you can use it for hands freecontrol of your computer, with a voice synthesizer, so that you can be walking around your house even). maybe there's enough interest to have a personal finances group meetingevery so often; to talk on any subject from dealing with creditcard debt, toforms of investment, to tax laws which benefit the blind. And I don't mean to say I have to be the organizer or presenter or even attend all of the conferences. anyone can create a group for whatever purpose, announce it's meeting here on TABI, and do their own thing. I'd just like to see us doing something together. something to cement friendships, or repair friendships, or just benefit us in some way we weren't even expecting.so, the floor is open for ideas as to how to make use of this wonderful newtool we have; but I'm asking once again that people give it a try. I know most people own a microphone, and those that don't, Lynn said headsets are available from Radio Shack for as little as $10. and since we're not doing speech recognition, you can use your bluetooth wirelessheadset if you'd like to move around. but I know there are a lot of peoplewho have the ability to use this, who haven't tried coming to one of our trial sessions yet.speak up when you're ready, and we'll hold another meeting to let you try itout. thanks.

I think Robert had just setup a desk microphone, and so he could sit back and chat, because he was either wearing headphones, or had his speakers down low. but, there's no pushing a control button to talk, so all of us could hear everyone at once.

I was amazed at how clear each of us sounded. Robert's deep voice came through like he was in the same room as I was. I am glad we didn't have video so I didn't have to look at hem. smile I did a bit of fumble ling around until I found the channel Chip had set up for us. I tend to do things the hard way. Chip said he could set things up so when the Team Talk client is opened the user would go right where the user is supposed to go. That would be fine with me. Just point me in the direction I am to go. We could even hear Sila in the background. This is cool and so easy to set up and use. We just need more than three people to join our team. I know you guys love to talk and it is hands free!
