[Txabs] Student Seminar Topics: We Want to Hear from You!

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, One topic that should be looked at more closely is the android accessibility as it is getting very good on the newer versions of the android operating system and also the google chrome book with the built in speech right out of the box.  Also I am exploring other operating systems other then windows like linux which now have great accessibility and can be installed completely with no sited assistance.  Lots of user friendly accessibility exists other then the Apple and Microsoft products and is a lot cheaper.  Nick Gawronski
