[nfbcs] Desktop Texting Applications

[Gary Wunder]

Pete, I note that you sent your concern to our lists but not directly to the
folks who may have some sway here - Dr. Maurer, Mark Riccobono, and others
directly involved. Since I am sure this was an oversight and that you and
Mary want something good to come from this, I will copy them here.

Warmly,

Gary

P.S. Have you set your hand to writing something about the Living History
meeting for me? I think it would be most helpful for the Monitor and am
intrigued personally by what the group is attempting.

Good afternoon everyone,

    We wish to cast our votes for the NFB Youth SLAM to receive funding from
Pepsi but not if we must deal with CAPTCHAS thank you. Since we don't have
talking cell phones we're curious to know if there are desktop applications
that allow one to send text messages as if they were doing it from a cell
phone and how usable are they by the blind?

    We want to participate but not if we're forced to deal with Web site
security methods that lock us out. If there's a way tos submit our votes
from our desktops as text messages freeing us from dealing with any CAPTCHAS
for any part of the process that would be wonderful. We want to see the
Youth SLAM funded but not at the expense of stances regarding Web site
accessibility taking a back seat when money is up for grabs.

Peter and Mary Donahue
