Subject: windows screen access
From: SO94016@GSVMS2.CC.GASOU.EDU

Hi, my name is Eric.  My girlfriend Stephanie is totally blind.

I am presently configuring her computer.  At present, she has an
IBM PS/1 Multimedia Computer (with Soundblaster 16 and DS CD-ROM).  The
Multimedia software is running within Windows.  In addition, we have
installed Wordperfect for WIndows.  We are presently looking for a screen
reader and speech synthesizer (maybe unless Braille N Speak will work with
a program) that will allow complete screen access within Windows.

The primary reason for Windows is that Steph knows very little about computers.
We are also running the Voice Assist program which allows voice commands
to run the computer.  Its not a total voice assist package but we cannot
afford one at the present time.

I figure that it would be easier for her to learn Windows because much of
the commands are about the same.  I am wondering though: what do you know
about Artic WinVision and Windows Bridge?  Do you know anything about
Windows Master made by Blazie Engineering?

Also, we are looking into scanners customized for v.i. people.  A company
named Arkenstone comes highly recommended.  Do you know anything about
this program or the company?  Any help you could give me would greatly
be appreciated.

Unfortunately, we live in Georgia and the only BBSs which specialize in
software for the blind and visually impaired is a long-distance phone call.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Subject: Needed: Your opinions
From: s15561el@umassd.edu
Organization: UMASS DARTMOUTH, NO. DARTMOUTH, MA.

Hello, Friends.  My name is Paul Lebeau and I am a blind graduate
student of Professional Writing.  With any luck and your help, I
should be graduating this June.  Please read and consider my
request--and please excuse any typos which may appear as my
software will not allow me to correct errors once they are made.

In my writing of articles, and in my reading of other's writing, I
have taken a great interest in how the physically disabled are
represented.  My concerns and observations led me to wonder just
how other py (oops) physically handicapped/disabled persons feel
about media portrayals o us.  More to the point, I have undertaken
a research project as part of my coursework in which I hope to do
just that: discover how the physically handicapped/disabled feel
about media portrayals of us--especially magazine articles about
disabilities and disabled persons.

I won't take up any more of your valuable time, but if you think
you might be interested in sharing any and all opinions you may
have in this matter, or if you would like more info and discussion,
please drop me an E-mail message.

Paul Lebeau
E-mail address: s15561el@umassd.edu

Note: this is an University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, address.
The s15561el is the universities reminder that we all just lowly
students until e we graduate.  I hope this message makes sense to
all of you--it's my first time.  Thanks so much.

Subject: texas bank offers braille statements
From: SKYRUNER@delphi.com

I don't remember if it was this list or NABS-L that had a recent thread on
the need for bills, bank statements, etc., in braile.  Also, my apologies if
this has already been posted as I get this list in digest form.

Anyway, Texas Commerce Bank just announced that it will offer statements in
braile to anyone who asks for it.  They transcribe them into braile and send
it along with the regular-print statement.  I read about this in a short
item in the paper, and don't know anything else about it.

Subject: CSUN Conference, Braille Movie
From: joerg.fricke@FERNUNI-HAGEN.DE (Joerg Fricke)
Organization: Technische Informatik I

Hi,

I have a favour to ask of you all. But first the history:

Three weeks ago in Los Angeles, we participated in the CSUN conference
and exhibition presenting the prototype of a device displaying a
virtual Braille line. In general, such devices are more inexpensive,
more lightweight, and smaller than real Braille lines. The special
idea of this new device is to provide to one or two fingers resting
on the laterally movable display sensations similar to that caused by
moving the skin over resting dots (instead of just popping up
characters using a normal Braille cell). The display contains four
rows of 18 pins with 1 mm distance. Laterally moving Braille dots are
presented by waves of lifting and settling pins. We called the display
"Braille Movie".

On the perceptual side, the principle seems to be o.k. because most
Braille readers testing the prototype could read text after a
training time of one or two minutes. Complaints were made of some
tactual noise in the background, of difficulties to differentiate
between one and two dots in the same row, and of dot 2 and 5 feeling
weaker than the rest. All this should be fixable or improveable.

Unfortunately, after the conference a bag containing this prototype
and about 50 names and addresses of persons interested in getting
further information on the development was stolen from our car. The
police report and some ads in the newspapers yield no result.

While the prototype seems to be gone forever I would like to try to
find at least some of those interested people. So, if by chance you
are among them would you please send your name and your (e-mail-)
address to me? Or if you know someone in your neighbourhood who has
attended the CSUN conference could you please ask if he or she was
interested in information on the Braille Movie?

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Joerg

Subject: postscript on Howtek printers
From: pjr@splash.princeton.edu (Peter Rayner)
Organization: Princeton University


For those who might find this combination useful (both of you), I
thought I would pass on the fact that we have postscript working
reliably on a Howtek Pixelmaster.  To do this we modified a driver
description in the public domain postscript interpreter "gs".  This
driver should become part of subsequent gs releases.

The combination has been working relatively reliably for twelve months
so I'm slightly confident we have most of the bugs out.  It's slow;
glacially slow, 3-5 minutes per page.

We also have a font description for a 6-dot braille font and it's
associated metric file.  These should work on any postscript printer
or interpreter but we've only tested them on the Howtek (a lot), a
couple of flavours of Laserwriter and a HP laserjet II with postscript
cartridge.

Anyone wanting more information on the driver or fonts should contact
me either by email as
pjr@splash.princeton.edu or by phone at
+1 (609) 258 1310 (daytime).
