Peter. see comment to Kim on how to do this--deaf/blind can do the same thing but of course with a braille display connected to the computer.

>I very much appreciate you sharing your blog with the PIBE-Division
>listserv. A question: Is there any way to make the comment submission
>process on your blog less conplicated for those of us who are blind? I have
>no difficulty deciphering the audio capcha alternative; however, locating
>the spot at which to enter the numbers I hear, and then submitting the text
>I've written, is next to impossible. I had several comments to your threads,
>but after four attempts with the alternate capcha, I finally gave up.

>Are you one handed and wish you could type faster? Are you missing your
>hands or arms? Are your hands shaky and it is difficult to type? If you have
>any difficulty typing at all, this may be a solution for you.

>Office 2003 does have a speech recognition built into it to use. You speak
>and the computer types out what you are saying.
>
>However, Windows 7 has taken a leap in speech recognition abilities. By
>speaking to your computer, you can get it to open any menu and go anywhere.
>You can dictate letters, do your homework and print it off or go into the
>Internet and email it. You can surf on the Internet and scroll through pages
>of information. With a quick "Start Listening", the computer listens to your
>voice and commands. With a "Stop Listening", the computer stops listening.
>
>If you are using talking software, you will need assistance in setting up
>the program as nothing else can be talking while you are training the
>program. Once the computer gets to know your voice, you can control it
>anyway you need. If you want to dictate in Word, you will need to limit JAWS
>ability to talk until you want him to, just a quick hit of the CTRL key is
>enough to control him. You begin talking and a dialog box opens where you
>say all your sentences. Once you finish dictating, you say "insert" and the
>text is inserted into the document, you can make corrections as needed with
>F7 to spell check with Jaws.
