Hi, thgis link siad couldn't display the page.
The correct link to Blind Cool Tech requires a ".com" extension and is:
http://www.blindcooltech.com/
I was going to tell you to check a page of podcast links for this group at:
http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries/web/podcasts
but I find that I haven't been able to get to that page for the last two or
three days, because I get a message that I am not subscribed to this group, and
logging in doesn't seem to help to change my access. If it works for you, that
page has direct links to all of Mike Arrigo's Blind Cool Tech podcasts about
the Mac, and all of the Screenless Switchers podcasts about VoiceOver and the
Mac.
Here's an ordered list of the Mac Accessibility Demo podcasts that Mike did:
Mac Accessibility Demo
5/24/2008 Mike overviews the accessibility features in the Mac and
demonstrates web browsing, email, and word processing. 28.6 MB
Mac Accessibility Demo Part 2
6/12/2008 Mike Arrigo continues the tour of the accessibility of the Mac
using the built-in screen reader, Voice Over. Mike demonstrates streaming audio
and using the Voice Over web find feature. 23.9 MB
Mac Demo Part 3
8/12/2008 Mike Arrigo answers questions from the first two episodes in this
series about the Mac and Voice Over, its built in screen reader. He explains
how to boot from the system DVD, shows a slick technique for moving through
mail messages more quickly, and tours the Voice Over Control Panel to show the
customizations you may make. He also demonstrates using the web browser on the
internet and demonstrates how it works with Ebay. 22.0 MB
Mac Demo 4
12/16/2008 Mike Arrigo continues this series by answering questions, showing
the improved accessibility in iTunes 8, playing a DVD, and using the web with
dynamic web pages. 22.8 MB
Mac Demo 5
1/18/2009 Mike Arrigo continues this series about built-in accessibility on
the Mac by demonstrating running Windows on the Mac. He discusses the reasons
why you would want to run Windows on a Mac, then talks about how it works, runs
both the Mac operating system and Windows at the same time, and shows running
Window-eyes, System Access, and Kurzweil 1000. 17.8 MB
Mac Demo 6
2/9/2009 Mike Arrigo describes how to walk up to a Mac in the store and get
it talking, so you can try it there. He also demonstrates using Voice Over on
the numeric keypad and shows how to copy files. He copies a book to an SD card
for use on the Victor Reader Stream. 18.1 MB
Mac Demo 7
3/17/2009 Mike Arrigo looks at the software update feature on the mac, goes
through most of the system preferences, and mentions things that blind users
may want to change. He shows how to enable the option so you can see file
extensions, shows how to change what programs are used to open different types
of files, and demonstrates how to install programs on the mac. 24.5 MB
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Esther
