Howdy Gang,
Thought I'd let you know my Non-Proift recently received a $21k grant to buy
50 Amazon Echo's or Google Homes and train and setup them up for folks. The
grant is kind of broad focusing on the 55 and older community in our local
community (so no referrals needed unless you're in the Roanoke Valley area).
But much of our Non-Profit's Blind and Low-Vision base falls into that
category so hopefully many of my current students can go through the
program. Just thought I'd let ya'll know. Amazon seems to be in the lead
right now as far a function and accessibility.
Here's a link about our program. Thought some of you might be interested in
something similar for your area or if you have an AT related question or
hurridle you hit you know somebody else is in the trenches with you.
