hello and a very good evening accessindians!
writing to the list after a long time, but i'm sure i'm still missed by
a lot of members. *smiles*
well, life's good here, with programming, learning and trying hard to
prepare for cracking cat this year.
oh by the way, if there's anybody who is also attempting for getting
through cat this year, please reach out to me at my personal email as
i'm still struggling with mathematical solutions and charts/graphs in
data interpretation and logical reasoning.
also, if somebody have any better idea about in which format the online
cat would be conducted, please throw some light.
i mean, if its in flash ( probability of which, is pretty high ), will
it be properly labeled for accessibility?
but that wasn't the subject, or at least the main subject, so let me
come to the point now.
recently while browsing around, i've learned from a friend of mine that
there is a website -- infact, many websites storing the Hollywood movies
with full audio description specifically for the peoples with visual
disability to equally enjoy the movies.
so i've ventured into the subject with my 70kb/s gprs, and i was impressed.
the files were in an mp3 format ( sorry peoples with low vision and
those who loved watching movie with their sited pals )
there's a human narrater describing the seens of the movie while the
movie, with all its characters, dialogs, sound effects runs in the
background.
if you've ever watched discovery channel on your television sets, you'd
understand how it will be.
and here's the catch, since the files are in mp3 format, you can put
them to your mp3 players, ipods, phone's memory card, and listen them
while you are away from your computer.
now, let me show you the other ( not so good ) side.
if you are not familiar with english accent, you mite not enjoy the
movies as i've already stated, the movies are from Hollywood, and the
narraters have accent too.
also, the files are hosted on a send space max account. which means,
resuming of partially downloaded files will not be supported.
the file size of corse is large, rangeing from 70 mb's to 300 mb's.
