[vlc] Re: VLC and Accessibility for Blind Users.

[Jim Noseworthy]

Hi:

Thanks for your response.  I am not sure just what speex is.

generally speaking, keyboard input presents no problems for the average 
Blind computer user.

Probably about 99% of Blind computer users use the Windows operating system.

Most Blind computer users use a screen reading Speech program such as JAWS 
(Job Access With Speech) to actually read the screen.

The problem of accessibility could be thought about as a two pronged 
problem:

1.  Being able to access all features of a program using the keyboard 
without a monitor or mouse.

2.  Having the proper information spoken when cursoring or tabbing through 
the various menus.

Thanks much for listening.
