[gui-talk] Fwd: From canes to screen readers on Innovations thisweek

[Rafal Charlampowicz]

Hi,

    This acoustic orientator (I think they mean Piepsy) is really useful. 
I'm using it. The Laser Long Cane also makes a good impression, but I'm a 
guide-dog user so... Certainly the show is worth listening to.
And you can read a few words about these devices (and a few other 
orientation aids) at: http://www.bariery.ug.gda.pl/english/orientacja.html

Greetings
