So now that you have had a brief overview of the Blindness & Technology web site, I now need to share some information with you concerning using the Internet. I must share this information with you to ensure the Speech Friendliness of this web site. When viewing a web site that has a Midi file playing in the background, such as the ones that make up the Blindness & Technology web site, you can stop the music at any time by just simply pressing the Escape key.
This information is very important to know if you use a software synthesizer such as Eloquence, DEC Talk Access 32, or Microsoft Via Voice. Now for those who are using a software synthesizer, I apologize for the inconvenience. Now for those who are using a hardware synthesizer such as a DEC Talk or a Double Talk, this should not be an inconvenience for you at all, unless you have your multimedia speakers blasting. So take a moment to listen to the Midi file that plays when you open one of the pages that make up this web site, and see if you can name that tune. You can check yourself by visiting my Music Gallery that is found on the Blindness & Technology web site as well.
Now one last thing that is worth mentioning before you begin viewing the blindness & Technology web site is that every file that has been uploaded to this web site is virus free, and I used McAfee Virus Scan to scan these files. Therefore, you do not only have a Speech Friendly site, but you have a virus free site as well.
So now that we have gotten this bit of information out of the way, you can begin viewing the Blindness & Technology web site without any further delay. I hope that you find the Blindness & Technology web site very useful and some what entertaining.
