USB Amber Alert Child ID Kit

No parent likes to think about it, but in the unlikely event that your child is abducted, quick response makes all the difference. Do you have all the updated information? Recent photos? Screen names, MySpace account details, personal blogs, medical information? Not that I want to make you feel like a bad parent, most of us have a tattered child ID card in our wallet, but that can quickly be outdated and if you're blind, how would you immediately read it in a real emergency?

Recognizing this need, Global Security Alerts paired with Kingston Technology, a supplier of memory products, has developed the AMBER Alert Child ID Kit, which stores all the information on a USB device.

It's convenient to use and update, which is the key feature, and keeps your child's profile, photos and online identity information securely in one place.

Fire Vox: A Screen Reading Extension for Firefox

Fire Vox is an open source, freely available talking browser extension for the Firefox web browser. Think of it as a screen reader that is designed especially for Firefox.

In addition to the basic features that are expected of screen readers, such as being able to identify headings, links, images, etc. and providing navigational assistance, Fire Vox provides support for MathML and CSS speech module properties. It also works on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.

Fire Vox is designed to accommodate different users with different needs. For visually impaired users, all Fire Vox commands are keyboard activated. In addition, the keyboard commands can be easily reconfigured in the self-voicing Fire Vox Options menu to avoid conflicts with other accessibility software products or to suit personal preferences. For sighted users who need a screen reader, such as web developers interested in testing their webpages or educators who work with visually impaired students, Fire Vox's highlighting feature makes it easy to keep track of where it's reading from on a page. This highlighting feature is also useful for dyslexic users and partially sighted users.

Because Fire Vox works directly within the Firefox browser, it always provides users with a live view of the web page, rather than a frozen snapshot which is what many other screen readers provide. This means that Fire Vox has the ability to handle dynamic pages better.

Pip Squeakers sound good to blind parents

Growing up isn't hard to do -- it's keeping the kids out of trouble that's hard on parents. Well, one company, Pip Squeakers LLC, has figured out a way to help blind parents keep track of their kids: they put squeaks in their shoes.

Pip Squeakers are kids shoes with built in squeakers. Every time your baby or toddler takes a step, the shoes sound off. These audible signals give blind parents a minimal-effort means of monitoring their kids' movements. Because they're fun for kids to wear, the company also suggests that Pip Squeakers will encourage pre-walkers to take notice of and begin to move their feet and legs, preparing them for their first wobbly giant leaps.

Pip Squeakers are made in China and distributed by a small, family-run business based in New Jersey. The shoes are available in sizes 3 to 6 and come in two styles: sneakers and sandals. Both styles are made with soft cotton uppers and use velcro straps for easy closure. The company's web site offers guidance in selecting proper shoe sizes and secure online ordering.

The Disability Blog

Rudy Sims has spent a decade blogging and over the past two years he's been putting together Disabilityblog.info. He was finding it difficult to find online resources for living with Cerebral Palsy and chronic pain. So he decided to provide a site for those looking for disability news or information about their own disabilities.

Rudy uses several search engines and more than 200 different news sources to find content to post on the site. Navigating it is like finding a treasure trove of news feeds all at once. Clear layout ensures you get right to where you want to be. Latest health items are on the main page. Then if you look at the links on the right, you'll find a huge spectrum of topics related to disability issues.

There are also links to separate blogs on specific conditions, all of which Rudy has created and updates himself. Each is like a specialist news feed in itself. "I love doing research and helping people. One of my biggest problems is I don't type very well due to my disability. "I have to get someone to type long responses, and that's why I don't write a lot on my blog. So the best way I can help others is to point them to helpful resources. "I have Cerebral Palsy and am dealing with chronic pain, but found it very difficult to find helpful information and resources. I wanted to provide a place where I could point people to information relevant to their disabilities."

"My website is what I do with my free time. It actually started ten years ago as a personal site I created when I was in high school. I then went to college for two years. My hope was to be a counselling psychologist, but due to chronic pain I had to drop out. "This is my full time job. As the site gets more popular I hope I can get people to add their own personal stories and experiences, which will hopefully help others. I am working on a personal blog to share my own experience and I hope to get my Mom to contribute her experience of raising three children with disabilities."

Fix Repeated Spelling Errors in MS-Word

Recently, someone asked me about the MS-Office Spell Check feature. Specifically, the reader wanted to know if there was a way to fix a consistent mistake throughout a document, with just a single click.

Well, I'm happy to report that yes, assuming you misspelled the word the same way each time, you can fix them all at once.

Start the Spell Check feature. Normally you simply choose your correction and then click Change, but wait! Don't go quite so fast. If you have some vision, look just below the Change button. Screen reader users continue to tab past the change button. See it?

Yep, that's right. The next button says Change All. That's the one you're looking to use. By clicking the Change All button, the program will change all occurrences of that specific misspelling in the current document you're working on.

So, yes, one click can fix them all!

Printing Email from Yahoo!

Have you ever needed to print an email to share with someone? Maybe you wanted to print a receipt for an online purchase? If you use Yahoo! for email, there's a quick and easy way to print your messages.

First, sign in to your Yahoo! account and open up the email you would like to print. It could be an email in your Inbox, one you sent to someone else or even one in your junk folder. Either way, open it up and, if you can see the screen, look to the top right hand corner of that message. There you will see a link that says Printable View.

If you click on that link, a new window will open that compacts your email down into an easier to print version. In that window, go up to the top right hand corner again and click on the Print link. That will send the e-mail to your printer and you can just click OK to print it like you normally would. When you're done, click the Close Window link and you'll be all set. You'll have a perfectly printed email and you can use it for whatever you'd like. I'm thinking of how cool this is for people who have braille embossors with built-in grade 2 translation, Yahoo!

Email Notifiers for Google and Yahoo!

Sometimes its just too inconvenient to log in to your web-based email account to check whether there is any new mail. It is worse if you have multiple accounts. Generally, you can seek help from a notifier program. A notifier program can tell you at a glance if you have got new email by alerting you from your menu bar or taskbar.

There are many forms of Notifiers, from shareware to desktop widgets for Windows and Mac OS X systems. If you are using Gmail or have a Yahoo! email account, you can download a Notifier to keep track of new messages.

Enemy Attack Audiogame for the Blind

Your mission in this game for the blind is a nearly hopeless endeavor: to destroy all the enemy's aircraft and bombs, but beware--it's not as easy as it sounds!

You will have to destroy 9 levels of enemies, with ten waves per level. The waves are not announced, but for each wave destroyed you are rewarded with the enemy coming at you a bit faster. You will be attacked with jets, planes, choppers, falling bombs and other surprises.

To attack the enemy, you press keys on the keyboard. Since the jets fly the highest, you use the top row of the keyboard--1 through dash. To shoot down the planes, use q through left bracket. To knock out the choppers, use a through apostrophe. To destroy the bombs, use z through slash.

So, if a jet comes screaming along from left to right, (and you catch it quick enough,) you can use 1 if it is on the extreme left, 2 if it is a little further on, and so forth. It is the same with the planes, choppers, and bombs. The sooner you hit your targets, the more points you gain.

The movement of the jets and planes is straightforward. They either move from left to right or from right to left. The choppers move back and forth, having no real direction except downward. Therefore they move quickly around in a random fashion to make them harder to hit. The bombs are on parachutes and are blown by the wind, so they also move back and forth as they descend. .

The points system is simple: the sooner you destroy an enemy, the more points you get. If a plane takes off and you shoot it immediately, you will earn more points than if you hit it when it is in the middle of the soundscreen. The same is true for other craft. Every time you miss a shot, though, you lose 1000 points, so be warned--if you want a good score, shoot to destroy.

The game ends when you run out of gunners to fight with, or, of course, in the unlikely event that you win.

In Defense of Eloquence

By Tasha Chemel

Up until relatively recently, whenever a new jaws update was about to be released, I would frantically read the "what's new" webpage with only one desired feature in mind. I wasn't interested in remote access or the newest scripts for Sound Forge or Cakewalk; all I ever wanted from screenreader developers was the edition of an alternative software synthesizer to replace crummy old Eloquence. Each time a new release was issued, with no comments on Eloquence to speak of, I would face my disappointment yet again. After spending hours and hours trying to make Jaws embrace the beauty of RealSpeak, I discovered that the coupling worked on principle, but JAWS's and Jennifer's union was fraught with strange pronunciations, misplaced emphases, and poor responsiveness.

As I grew older, my opinion of Eloquence began to soften. The more I read, the better I became at imbuing that once-hated voice with all of the emotions, idiosyncratic quirks and vocal qualities of a professional audiobook narrator. It was almost as if my ear was so accustomed to Eloquence's cadences that I was able to completely tune out the voice itself and impose my own patterns onto it, much like a sighted person reading silently is able to hear character's voices in her head. In fact, the results of the survey I conducted in April of this year gives preliminary support to this theory, since blind and sighted users had utilized very different cues when making emotion judgments about sentences generated by Eloquence. Needless to say, if you were unfortunate enough to take said survey, you no doubt recall that it was long and tedious; the analysis of the data it produced was even more so. But all of the countless hours I spent GENERATING PROSODIC TRANSCRIPTIONS FOR EACH UTTERANCE AND PAINSTAKINGLY CODING AND SCORING EACH RESPONSE ONLY DEEPENED MY COMMITMENT TO MY SILICATE COMPANION. To my mortification, it was a running joke in my co-ed fraternity that I had developed somewhat of a crush on JAWS. Even the RealSpeak Solo voices, which shipped with Jaws 8.0, were thrust aside in favor of good old Eloquence.

Not surprisingly, my affectionate feelings towards my favorite synthesizer prompted me to find new opportunities for us to spend time in each other's company. Wouldn't it be lovely, I thought one day, if I could listen to text or word documents on a portable player with Eloquence speech? That way, my dear friend could comfort me when the arduous demands of the treadmill proved to be too taxing, and could share in my enjoyment of a balmy day on the beach. My search, however, was fruitless. No portable device capable of playing text files and costing less than $1,000 uses Eloquence as a synthesizer. The Bookport, which I eventually bought out of desperation, uses Doubletalk, whose mumbled burblings are positively grating. My only option seemed to be creating MP3 files of my beloved's voice with a program like TextAloud and then transferring them to my portable player. Since this process takes about twenty minutes per book, and rapidly drains the Bookport's batteries, it is not the best solution for a college student known for her laziness, impatience and lack of forethought.

At the end of June, when I learned that Humanware had released the Victor Reader Stream, my excitement bloomed anew. Though the device did not use Eloquence, it promised high-quality speech developed by nuance, Eloquence's current owner. My happiness proved to be short-lived, however, when I heard a sample of the speech used on the stream. Which brings me to the purpose of this post.

I am well aware that one's feelings about a speech synthesizer are completely subjective, and differ widely from person to person. However, I nonetheless believe that Eloquence is still highly regarded among blind computer users for the simple reason that the leading screenreaders and scanning packages still continue to use it. Eloquence, for all its faults, is familiar. Unless there is some technical obstacle of which I am unaware, I think the companies who design portable bookreaders are simply underestimating the appeal of this familiarity. In my opinion, portable bookreaders would drastically increase in popularity if they used a speech synthesizer to which most of us are already accustomed. If we can't use JAWS while we're at the gym, we should at least be able to hear texts read to us in our screenereader's voice.

I am very curious to see whether other blind computer users share my opinion. If I get enough positive interest, I am planning to write a letter to HumanWare or APH. Anyone who wants to help me with this is more than welcome to contact me at tashiegirl@rcn.com, or to circulate this posting.

The PC Decrapifier

Advanced computer users (aka Geeks) know that when you buy a computer, it often comes loaded with bloatware, software that you don't need, is not accessible and just slows down your computer.

Unfortunately the reality is that the average person isn't aware of all of this unnecessary junk, nor are they aware how to get rid of it. That is where the aptly named PC Decrapifier comes in. It uninstalls many of the common trialware and other bloatware that come installed on your PC.

PC Decrapifier shows the list of items it detects and then lets you choose what will be removed automatically. And the software is donation ware, which means it's free for personal use.

Current Date and Time in MS-Word

Not too long ago, I got an email from a reader who needed to know the keyboard shortcuts for the current date and time in MS-Word.

Since these are always handy tidbits to know, I thought it would make a great entry into the database.

• Alt+Shift+D will insert the current date into your document.
  
• Alt+Shift+T will insert the current time into your document.

Unknown to most, the current date and time really are at your fingertips!

What is the Windows System Tray

The system tray is located at the very bottom of your desktop, in the taskbar (which is the long bar that runs across your desktop). If you look along the taskbar, you'll see some icons in the quick launch area, then you have some open space for any programs you might have open. On the very far right, you'll see where the system tray sits.

The system tray contains the clock icon, the volume icon and a variety of others, depending on what programs you have installed on your computer. Usually, your antivirus program icon will be there, it's where your printer icon shows up, your modem icon is there, the safely remove hardware icon sits there and so on. If you need to use any of the items in your system tray, all you have to do is double click with a mouse, or press enter on the icons if using a screen reader and the programs will open. Right clicking on these icons can often bring up several options as well.

If you use a screen reader, hold down the Windows or Start Menu key and press the letter m. This will take you to the desktop. Pressing tab will cycle you through the Desktop, Start Button, the Taskbar and the System Tray.

The Zoom-Ex Portable Scanner

ABISee, Inc., developer of products for low vision and blind computer users, has developed the Zoom-Ex Portable Scanner which makes it possible to turn any computer into an accessible scanner and reader for blind users.

The durable but lightweight design of the Zoom-Ex Portable Scanner consists of a 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch digital camera on a stand, with the stand also acting as a guide for lining up the book or document to be scanned. Because of this unique camera and stand design, the camera is always at the exact distance it needs to create a clear image and the blind user always knows exactly where to place the material to be scanned.

The Zoom-Ex Portable Scanner can operate in either manual or automatic mode. When in automatic mode, Zoomex senses when a page has been turned, leaving the user's hands free to easily turn the pages.

Because the Zoom-Ex scanner includes its own text-to-speech and OCR programs and runs off any Windows-based computer or laptop, you can use it almost anywhere that there is a computer on which to install the software: in the classroom or library, at conferences and on vacation.

Product features:

• Intuitive design makes it easy to position books and documents for scanning since the unique L-shaped design of the stand provides a guide for aligning materials.
  
• Easy to start and stop scanning or reading with a single key press.
  
• Faster than traditional flatbed scanners - from start of scan to the time Zoomex begins reading takes only three to seven seconds.
  
• Allows user to read by page, section, sentence, or word, in addition to being able to set a variety of voice preferences.
  
• Recognizes and verbally identifies page formatting and design elements, including columns.
  
• Lightweight weighs only one pound.
  
• Fits in a standard backpack when folded: dimensions (folded) are 17 1/2 inches length 4 1/2 inches wide.
  
• Runs off of USB - no additional power packs or batteries required.

What is a Firewall?

A firewall is a system that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. You can implement firewalls in your hardware, software or both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks that are connected to the Internet. With all that said, let's talk about some of the different types of firewalls available. Most firewalls use two or more of the following techniques:

• Packet Filters: A packet filter looks at each packet that enters or leaves the network and accepts or rejects the packet based on user-defined rules. Packet filtering is fairly effective and transparent, but it is difficult to configure. In addition, it is susceptible to IP spoofing.
  
• Application Gateway: An application gateway applies security mechanisms to specific programs, such as FTP and Telnet. This technique is very effective, but it can cause performance degradation.
  
• Circuit-layer Gateway: This technique applies security mechanisms when a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connection is established. After the connection has been established, packets can flow between the hosts without any further checking.
  
• Proxy Server: A proxy server intercepts all messages that enter and leave the network. The proxy server effectively hides the true network addresses.
  
• Application Proxies: Application proxies have access to the whole range of information in the network stack. This permits the proxies to make decisions based on basic authorization (the source, the destination and the protocol) and also to filter offensive or disallowed commands in the data stream. Application proxies are "stateful," meaning they keep the "state" of connections inherently. The Internet Connection Firewall feature that is included in Windows XP is a "stateful" firewall, as well as, the Windows Firewall. The Windows Firewall is included with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Now that you know some of the different types of firewalls and their configurations, you can better determine which one will work the best for your computer.

Postcard email Scam

If you're like me (and everyone else who has emailed me about this), you've been getting some strange emails in your Inbox lately. Am I right? Well, those emails are part of a newer scam that is going around these days. It goes by the name "Postcard Scam," but there are various versions of it that may have found their way to your Inbox.

If you receive one of these emails, the subject will say something like "You've received a postcard from a family member" or something similar. There have also been some that say something about an e-card, a greeting or even one specifying a special holiday (like the Fourth of July). The senders of this scam have also varied. These spam emails have come from Hallmark, Greetings123, eCards, GreetingCards.com and more.

If you open the email, it will tell you that you've been sent a postcard and there will be a link you can click on to go and preview it. But, if you click on that link, you're putting yourself at risk for a potential virus or malware infestation. Once you click on the link, the scammers know your address is a real one and they can start sending you malicious material at any time. So, although these emails look tempting, don't click on that link! Be extra careful not to fall for this trick.

Cell Phone Sounds

In a sterling example of "you can find anything on the Internet," an individual is collecting the original ringtones available on all possible mobile phones and putting them up for all to enjoy.

Go listen, or add your phone's voice to the collection: http://andrelouis.com/phonetones.

Internet TV Tuner for the Blind

Internet TV tuners are nothing new. There are tons of programs that claim to have the most stations, best interface and best performance for your computer. The truth is that most of these programs are totally useless by the blind and most of their links don't work.

I have found a program that does what it says. You truly can tune into over fifteen hundred internet TV stations and the links actually work. The program works well with JAWS and Window Eyes and is really fun to use.

JLC's Internet TV is a program for watching free online TV channels. It automatically finds over fifteen hundred channels and has an online updater to keep the channel list updated. This program is completely free of charge and is 100% accessible to people using screen readers and screen magnification programs.

Features:

• Watch over fifteen hundred online TV channels for free!
  
• User friendly interface with built-in channel list.
  
• Channel updater which keeps your list synchronized with the list at World Wide Internet TV
• Program updater automatically keeps your program up to date.
  
• Powerful search function lets you easily find any channel.
  
• Favorite list to keep a track of your favorite channels.
  
• Absolutely NO spyware/adware or malware included!
  

Requirements:

• Windows Media Player
  
• Real Player or Real Alternative

A reader of the Fred's Head Companion blog told us about another site with lots of online TV stations. Click this link to visit the LORD of TV website at More Online TV channels www.lordoftv.com.

Free Streaming TV Stations at FreeTube

When I heard about this site, I was hesitant. As I mentioned, I've seen free software that claims to get you access to free streaming television channels but the selection always tends to stink and the accessibility is even worse. However, unlike those software programs, FreeTube allows you to watch streaming TV stations with no software to install and no subscription is required. The selection of channels is really impressive. They have over 497 channels, including everything from the SciFi Channel to HGTV. Do they have everything you would find on Cable? No, but who can complain when it's free. The only technical requirement is that you have a web browser, and a few media players.

A Dictionary for Every Language

Did you know that there are over 6,000 spoken languages in the world today? Or that about 2,000 of them have written languages to go with their verbal ones? Your Dictionary brings you around 300 language dictionaries to browse through.

The dictionaries are in alphabetical order and they go across the page to the right, making it easy to find the language you are looking for. Navigation is simple. Just click the name of the language of which dictionary you'd like to browse through. It will take you to a page full of links to dictionaries of that dialect, as well as, some you can open in your word processing programs.

I think this is a handy tool to have around for many different projects. Whether you want to help your kids with their language class, you want to look up a certain word you've seen or you use it to find a word to use for a project, you'll find so many different dictionaries here that you'd be hard pressed to ask for anything more.

Don't Know Where You're Going? Find Out With APH!

Electronic travel aids offer the opportunity for significant improvements in obstacle avoidance and landmark location. Two products available from APH, the Miniguide US and the 'K' sonar, can substantially augment information available to travelers who are blind or visually impaired.

APH is offering interested Ex Officio Trustees the option of hosting a National Instructional Partnership event in your area to provide training on the basic and advanced skills involved in teaching and using electronic travel aids, primarily those available from APH.

Objectives:

• Acquire a working knowledge of divergent technical concepts and processes involved in these two travel aids;
• Distinguish similarities and differences between these aids in terms of user interface and information provided;
• Avoid obstacles and locate landmarks while using devices under blindfold with instruction from a trained instructor;
• Teach, under supervision, one component skill involved in using these devices to a student with a visual impairment or to an instructor under blindfold.

Does this sound important to you? Is this an event you would like to co-sponsor with APH? If you are an Ex Officio Trustee and would be interested in partnering with us to host this exciting event, please contact Janie Blome, jblome@aph.org, or call 800-223-1839, ext 367. If you are not a Trustee, please contact the Ex Officio Trustee in your area and ask them to get in touch with Janie!

Students Meet the Challenge at the NATIONAL BRAILLE CHALLENGE in Los Angeles

Fifty-seven braille reading students, ages six through 19, participated in the final competition of the Braille Institute of America's 7th Annual National Braille Challenge in Los Angeles on June 23. Students, their families, and teachers enjoyed a beach party reception on Friday evening with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck from nearby Universal Studios. Saturday events included competitions in the areas of braille comprehension, speed, and accuracy in reading and writing, spelling, and charts and graphs. The day ended with an awards dinner where guests were delighted by the humor of Stephen Hillenburg, the voice of Sponge Bob Square Pants, as he and Nancy Niebrugge gave the top three winners in each age category their awards. Nancy Niebrugge is an APH Ex Officio Trustee (EOT) and the Braille Challenge Director.

APHer Sandi Baker attended the Challenge events and displayed APH products for students, families, and teachers. Janie Blome, APH Director of Field Services, sits on the Braille Challenge National Advisory Committee.

Gulliver's Travels Again Available from APH...70 Years Later!

Gulliver's Travels, recorded in celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the National Library Service at APH last November, is now available from the Callahan Museum. The book was recorded in the original 1936 studio at the Printing House in a fourteen hour talking book marathon by narrators from five local studios as well as community volunteers. Familiar APH voices on Gulliver include Terry Hayes Sales, Milton Metz, Mitzi Friedlander, Barry Bernson, Lou Harpenau, Roy Avers, Butch Hoover, and Jack Fox. APH President Tuck Tinsley and our then Executive in Residence Cay Holbrook also took turns.

Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, was the first talking book produced at the Printing House. It was originally recorded in 1937, narrated by Louisville radio pioneer Hugh Sutton. The 2006 version is abridged. As museum director Mike Hudson joked, "We started recording at 7 a.m. Fourteen hours later we finished the third section. We thought we'd leave the final voyage to the Houyhnhnms for the NLS centennial celebration in 2031."

The commemorative version includes the work of over forty Louisville area narrators, including APH professionals and volunteer readers from the Audio Studio for the Reading Impaired, the Kentucky Talking Book Library, Central Kentucky Radio Eye, and Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic. The file is stored in an MP3 format on a compact disc playable on Microsoft Windows Media Player. The format may be incompatible with other media players. Copies are available for $5.00 by calling Mike Hudson at 800/223-1839, ext 365. Proceeds from the sale will help fund future museum education programs.
