Re: making it hard for the blind to E-mail Channing

Furball,

 

I agree with you! 

 

MY GRIPE:

 

In adition, the following thing has happened:  they have this greatr software

where if you her a tune, you can turn it on, and click, and it tells you the

artist and where you can buy the music.  It would work, for example, on theme

songs for movies.  I am good at this anyway:  what I have difficulty with at

present are actors and actresses.  Where is the software that face blind folk

can use, to point at actors and actresses and get their names back?

 

I would like to have a hand-held divice where I could enter each of my friends

with a picture, and when someone says hello to me, I could aim my equipment at

him or her, shoot, read the name, and say hello back- intelligently!  Hay,

people who have alzheimers (sorry for usijng person first- do they have an

opinion on this as a group?) could use it, too.  I am only asking my equipment

to compare one friend to another, and pick the best match:  not discriminate

amoung billions of people.

NIIIIIRRRRRRRRR! !!!!!!!!! :-(

I E-mailed Channing because I want her to be my penpal in E-mail and

this thing came back to me so I hit enter on the link to " " " verify " " "

that she'll get my E-mail faster... so I went there and it's this

crappy captia which you can't do when you're blind! I can't see those

neiny (bad) characters that show up, and JAWS For Windows doesn't read

those! Bad!

I hope she gets my E-mail somehow.

(Channing, if you're male I'm sorry I said she.)

Futurists, in fact, are predicting that this type of technology will

be available as the Internet becomes more widespread and gains more

features, probably within the next ten to twenty years.

Parrish,

 

I believe that the capability exists now. What would make it even cooler would

be to be able to morph each of those faces, and have the software interpret them

emotionally, so that an autistic romantic partner could use it to determine the

NTs feelings, and reply intelligently there, too- <grin>
