ElSeeMore
Australia's NERG News reports a program called ElseeMore
- EchoLink for Blind Operators has been developed by Tony VK3ZTR (tonywakefield.com.au)
This program assists Blind and Visually Impaired radio amateurs in operating
the popular EchoLink Internet linking program.
Normally EchoLink requires the use of the keyboard and mouse, and the
ability to read menus and text displays.
ElseeMore is simplifying the user interface. Large screen fonts and simplified
text displays can be used by partially sighted operators, while voice
prompts are use by totally blind operators to navigate through the EchoLink
controls.
ElseeMore can be configured by an assistant (either locally or over the
Internet) so that the blind operator can easily access pre-set favourite
EchoLink nodes.
Tony says the program has been quite popular not only with blind operators
but also operators having 20-20 vision, the large font display and speech
announcements are great for monitoring operations from across a room!
