Hi Mike Yeah I've gotten them too. as for opening them, I have to open
the message to send it to the government. it's all right to open the message
itself just don't download or open the attachment. Just send them to
_spam at uce.gov_ (mailto:spam at uce.gov) that's the email address to send to the
government. I think it's connected to homeland security and or the justice
department. Oh Yeah, was going to send another message but will do this
here. I saw on the GW Micro Window-eyes digest today that window-eyes and
the Braille sense training will take place at the NFB convention.
I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the national federation
of the blind To achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the policies and programs of the federation; and abide by its
constitution.

While it's included with the phone at no extra cost the phone itself costs
more than most of us can pay.

Subject: [gui-talk] Fw: Cell Phone accessibility for free
Forgive me if someone else has posted this here -- I am digging out from
under 2 weeks of list mail...
(Note to reader users list: this has nothing to do with the knfb reader
which is an OCR / reader program. But the I thought it was an interesting
addition to the accessible phone market.)

Looks like we might have a fully accessible phone here for no extra cost!
Let's hope it is as good as it sounds.

>> <http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html>
>>
>> The same VoiceOver screen reader made popular on the Mac is now a
>> standard feature on the iPhone 3G S. It's the world's first
>> gesture-based screen reader,
>> enabling you to enjoy the fun and simplicity of the iPhone even
>> if you can't see the screen.
>>
>> What makes VoiceOver on iPhone truly remarkable is that you
>> control it using simple gestures that let you physically interact
>> with items on screen. It's
>> easy to learn and fun to use. Instead of memorizing hundreds of
>> keyboard commands, or endlessly pressing tiny arrow keys to find
>> what you're looking for,
>> with VoiceOver, you simply touch the screen to hear a description
>> of the item under your finger, then gesture with a double-tap,
>> drag, or flick to control
>> the phone.
>>
>> VoiceOver delivers an experience unlike any screen reader you've
>> ever used before. Traditional screen readers describe individual
>> elements on the screen,
>> but struggle to communicate where each element is located or
>> provide information about adjoining objects. This contextual
>> information is very important
>> but typically filtered out by other screen readers. For example,
>> "off-screen" models used by traditional screen readers to
>> represent applications and web
>> pages intentionally strip away contextual information and
>> describe web pages as a list or menu of items. But with
>> VoiceOver on iPhone 3G S, you'll experience
>> something entirely new.
>>
>> Because VoiceOver works with iPhone's touchscreen, you interact
>> directly with objects on the screen and can naturally understand
>> their location and context.
>> So, when you touch the upper-left corner of the screen, you'll
>> hear what's in the upper left corner of a web page, and as you
>> drag your finger around the
>> screen, you'll learn what's nearby, providing an amazing new
>> sense of context and relationship between the items you hear.
>> For many, VoiceOver on iPhone
>> will provide, perhaps for the first time, a true sense of how
>> things appear on screen, not just descriptions of what they are.
>>
>> You'll hear descriptions of every item on the screen, including
>> status information such as battery level, Wi-Fi and cellular
>> network signal levels, the
>> cellular network provider, and time of day. It even lets you
>> know when the display changes to landscape or portrait
>> orientation, and when the screen is
>> locked or unlocked.
>>
>> The speaking rate is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that
>> best suits your listening ability. VoiceOver uses distinctive
>> sound effects to alert you
>> when an application opens, when the screen is updated, when a
>> message dialog appears, and more. And, when Voiceover is
>> talking, the volume of background
>> sounds and music are automatically lowered, "ducking" under the
>> voice, so you can clearly hear what VoiceOver is telling you.
>>
>> It speaks your language
>>
>> VoiceOver includes built-in voices that speak 21 languages
>> including Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan),
>> Dutch, English (US), English
>> (UK), Finnish, French (Canada), French (France), German, Italian,
>> Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil),
>> Portuguese (Portugal), Russian,
>> Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), and Swedish.
>>
>> Getting started
>>
>> VoiceOver is built right into the iPhone 3G S. There's nothing
>> extra to purchase or install. All you need is the iPhone 3G S,
>> iTunes 8.2 or later, and a
>> Mac or PC. You can activate your iPhone and enable VoiceOver
>> without sighted assistance using iTunes with a compatible screen
>> reader like VoiceOver included
>> in Mac OS X and GW-Micro Window-Eyes(r) for Windows XP and
>> Windows Vista (sold separately). When you activate iPhone using
>> iTunes, you can enable VoiceOver
>> on the iPhone to start using it right away. Sighted users can
>> also enable VoiceOver for you directly on iPhone using the
>> Accessibility menu in the Settings
>> application.
>>
>> How it works
>>
>> With VoiceOver enabled, you'll use a different, but simple set of
>> gestures to control the iPhone. For example, instead of tapping
>> to click a button or select
>> an item, you tap to hear a description of the item you touch and
>> double-tap to click or select it.
>>
>> When an item on the screen is selected, a black rectangle called
>> the VoiceOver cursor appears around it. The VoiceOver cursor is
>> displayed for the benefit
>> of sighted users with whom you may be sharing your phone. When
>> you prefer privacy, VoiceOver includes a screen curtain that
>> turns off the display so no
>> one can read it without your knowledge.
>>
>> In addition to touching and dragging around the screen, you can
>> also flick left and right to move the VoiceOver cursor precisely
>> to the next or previous
>> item on the screen-no matter how big or small it is. By
>> flicking, you have precise control of what you hear even when it
>> might otherwise be difficult to
>> place your finger on it.
>>
>> Entering Text
>>
>> When you're typing text, such as an email message or a note,
>> VoiceOver echoes each character on the keyboard as you touch it,
>> and again to confirm when
>> you enter it. You can also have VoiceOver speak each completed
>> word instead of and in addition to individual characters as you
>> type them. A flick up or
>> down while typing moves the insertion point cursor left and right
>> within the text so you can edit a word just as easily and
>> precisely as typing a new word.
>>
>> To help you type more quickly and accurately, iPhone features
>> word prediction and suggests the correct spelling when you type a
>> word incorrectly. With Speak
>> Auto-text enabled, you'll hear a sound effect and the suggested
>> word spoken automatically. You can just keep typing to ignore
>> it, or press the space key
>> to have iPhone type it for you.
>>
>> The Rotor
>> Two fingers touching a Multi-Touch trackpad and a
>> counter-clockwise arrow indicating how to enter a rotate gesture.
>>
>> VoiceOver features an innovate new virtual control called a
>> "rotor." Turning the rotor- by rotating two fingers on the screen
>> as if you were turning an
>> actual dial - changes the way VoiceOver moves through a document
>> based on a setting you choose. For example, a flick up or down
>> might move through text
>> word by word. But when you choose the "character" setting, each
>> time you flick up or down VoiceOver will move through the text
>> character by character -
>> perfect when you're proofreading or editing text.
>>
>> You can also use the rotor to navigate web pages. When you're on
>> a web page, the rotor contains the names of common items, such as
>> headers, links, tables,
>> images, and more. You select a setting, then flick up and down
>> to move to the previous or next occurrence of that item on the
>> page, skipping over items
>> in between.
>>
>> Applications
>>
>> VoiceOver works with all of the built-in applications that come
>> with iPhone 3G S, such as Phone, iPod, iTunes, Mail, Safari, and
>> Maps. So, you can place
>> and receive calls, surf the web, text and email your friends,
>> check your stocks and the weather, and much, much more. Apple is
>> also working with iPhone
>> software developers so they can make their applications VoiceOver
>> compatible.
>>
>> Voice Control
>>
>> In addition to gestures, you can use your voice to play music and
>> make a phone call. Just press and hold the home button, listen
>> for the audio prompt, and
>> speak the name of the artist, album, or playlist you want to
>> hear. You can pause, play, change tracks, even shuffle your
>> music.
>>
>> When you want to make a call, speak the name or telephone number
>> of the person you want to call. iPhone 3G S understands 21
>> different languages.
>> Zoom
>> Two iPhones. The iPhone in the background is displaying the
>> weather application. The iPhone in the foreground shows the
>> weather application zoomed 200%
>>
>>
>> While many iPhone applications let you zoom in and out specific
>> elements such as images in Mail, or webpage columns in Safari,
>> Zoom lets you magnify the
>> entire screen of any application you're using to help you see
>> what's on the display. Zoom can be enabled on iPhone 3G S using
>> iTunes when you're setting
>> up the iPhone, for yourself or someone else, or later, using the
>> Accessibility menu in the Settings application on the iPhone.
>>
>> Zoom works everywhere, including the Home, Unlock, and Spotlight
>> screens-even with applications you purchase from the App store.

Adium works great, you can get it at adium.im. It works great with
voice over, and can also be configured to automatically speak events
and messages.

Hi all,
I just posted an update to CapBeeper. This version, 1.2, adds
Window-Eyes menus in addition to the original hotkeys. It is also
localized in Croatian and works with their additional letters. It
requires Window-Eyes version 7.1 or higher. The beta is good enough.

Oh yes -- and I've gotten some ostensibly from myself, i.e.,my email
address and I know I do not have the worm because I've checked and
because some of the messages ostensibly originated when my computer was
off! Or perhaps this is a miracle? (grin)

Hi list members, Ken here not sure if everyone is getting these or not,
but
I just sent an email to the government that is an attached file to what
looks like a email failure delivery message. The Fishing email address
confirms that these are worms. that address bounces when you forward
them to
it. I've gotten at lease eight or nine of these in the last week.
Some of
them even look like AOL messages with an address of No reply at... You
can
tell they're fakes by the way they read and the attached file. I have
gotten some that are from Mailer Daemon though. are these things going
all
over the net in the last week? Think it's that configger worm. Ken.
