<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am not sure if I understand the
question correctly. Are you asking about the technology that I currently
use at home or the technology that is currently being used during
election.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Either way, yes both has the potential to improve
and <FONT size=3>make future election more accessible to deaf-blind voters? I
remember when both Magic and ZoomTech had only the ability to change things from
a visual aspect. Now they both have voice/speech capability to read what is on
the computer. JAWS has always been a screen readerand I believe a braille
display can work with JAWS. I personally, have not used a braille display
before. Therefore, I am not sure how the braille display works as far as
software on the computer.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I say all of this to say. First, personally, for me the
voting machine I currently use could be improve by working on the sound
system internally. Also, it would be nice to include the braille display and to
have blue tooth capability. The current companies that designs today's
technology just needs to work together. But, I know no one wants to share
their secret and each is working for individual purposes. One for the blind and
one for the hearing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I hope this response has help a little. We really already
have the technology, we just need to put it together and those at the poll make
sure it is working properly.</FONT></DIV>
