[Blindmath] First attempt at an SWT/SVG based drawing program

[Christine Szostak]

Hi All,
  One thing I have really been curious about with respect to the vOICe is 
how disrupting it can be when trying to ascertained pertinent auditory 
information around you. For example, if walking  and attempting to talk with 
someone while doing so, are you able to carry on a conversation?

  Also, given Pranav's comment, I was curious if it is possible to drive 
with it. I  am assuming that some vision is required to do so since this 
should not detect things like color of traffic lights...
Many thanks,
Christine
