As discussed on this list before people with visual impairment are generally much better off buying the Creative Zen Stone rather than getting embroiled with the inaccessible Ipods and I Tunes . I know the shuffle is more accessible but as far as I am aware you still have to use I Tunes and end up paying for J Tunes scripts.

In future I will never buy anything developed by Apple. Their attitude to accessibility, especially through their Itunes software, stinks in my opinion. If it has improved I apologise to them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Victor Gouveia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 2:50 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] i-pod advice >I think it should be noted that the shuffle is not accessible in the > standard way that items for the blind are accessible. > > I don't believe the shuffle has any speech to tell you what file is > playing > or anything, it's simply made with no screen, thereby making it equally as > accessible for the blind as it is for sighted individuals in that the > items > are accessed blindly. > > At least that's the way I was told about it. > > Am I correct in this assessment? > > Victor > > > Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: > http://www.jaws-users.com > Address for the list archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > To post to this group, send email to > [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject > or body of a blank message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Use the following form in order to contact the management team > http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php > If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the > following address: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
