Season's Meetings from SerotekI believe you can get the same access through 
Talking Communities, as on the FCB Web page.  I'm not sure though.

  Hi Everyone,

  I'd really urge everyone to get one of these free accounts (before December 
31) after viewing the demo provided on their home page.  especially so if you 
belong to any committee or group.

  It does appear that as a participant, you would have a distinct advantage if 
you're using a braille display, as the screen changes under the control of the 
presenter as they display for you a word document or a powerpoint slide or a 
web page, and it's a little difficult to move around and listen to a 
synthesizer at the same time as you are listening to the presenter speaking.

  this aside, it's an amazing technical feat to have audio streaming, while 
your pc is under remote control (in a way) as they cause various apps on their 
computer to open, but which allow you to move around to read the screen, and 
you can speak or write questions and comments to the presenter.

  It's a great tool for a business meeting with documents to be discussed, it's 
not as good as a telephone conference call if you're just needing to hold a 
conversation; but it sure helps overcome the transportation problem, and in 
many ways allows a participant to get more out of the documents being 
discussed, since you're right there at a computer able to read them, than if 
you were at the meeting in person, where you'd likely not have a computer.

ends December 31


    Hi all,

    below is a sales pitch for the SeroTech Accessible Event service.  the 
interesting thing is that they are offering free basic accounts, for personal 
use, if you sign up before December 31.  however, the free service which comes 
with this type of account is free for life (they say).

    the link in the press release for the sign up is incorrect; it's for a paid 
type of account.  you should not enter your credit card number at any time for 
the free type of account.

    I believe the corrected link is:

    http://accessibleevent.com/services/gratis/5/

    I got there by going to the "home" link, and then choosing "sign up", and 
then "basic".

    this account allows you to host an online meeting with 3 attendees.  
there's a demo on the home page of the web site showing you what's possible in 
such an online meeting.  no special software, other than a browser with flash, 
is required.

    enjoy.

    Chip

      Accessible Event makes meetings, lectures, and webinars fully accessible 
to all participants, and no meeting is too large or too small for Accessible 
Event to handle.  We understand that important meetings don't just happen in 
huge corporations.  To that end, we've made a few changes that make it easier 
and more affordable than ever to bring accessibility to even the smallest group 
event.  



      First, any personal Accessible Event day pass or subscription now covers 
up to ten attendees.  We've doubled the number of allowed attendees, but we 
haven't doubled the price.  For $9.95 for a personal day pass, $39.95 for a 
month subscription, or $29.95 per month for a year's subscription, you can 
ensure that all your meeting content is accessible, including MS-Word 
documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and web pages. 



      And while Serotek embraces the spirit of giving during every day of the 
year, we wanted to present you with something extra special during the holiday 
season.  From now through December 31, you can sign up for a free, basic 
Accessible Event subscription entitling you to up to three attendees per 
meeting.  Are you a blind student who needs access to classroom presentations?  
Do you hold a small group meeting every month and you've been looking for a way 
to make it accessible?  Do you attend meetings which utilize an inaccessible 
meeting platform and you're tired of not having the same level of access as the 
other meeting attendees?  W hether running as a standalone product or alongside 
other meeting solutions, Accessible Event is perfect for your needs.  Use your 
free, Basic Accessible Event subscription to become a full participant in every 
meeting you attend.  And the best part is: while the ability to sign up for 
this free subscription ends on December 31, your access to it lasts a lifetime. 
 If you sign up between now and December 31, your basic Accessible Event 
account will never expire. 



      So give yourself or someone you know the gift of Accessibility Anywhere 
and sign up for Accessible Event today. 



      To learn more about Accessible Event, including the basic subscription 
for up to 3 attendees,  personal day passes and subscriptions for up to 10 
attendees, and corporate day passes or subscriptions beginning at 25 attendees, 
visit www.accessibleevent.com 

      or call (612) 246-4818. 



      Happy Hollidays from the Serotek Team!
