It sounds very interesting. Wonder what operating system there going to use? I would love to test this product. I checked out the page but couldn't find any contact links.

I don't know any more than what is in the message and what I have read on the website. HTH, Rick Justice Original message follows: Myself and a small group of independent developers are beginning work on the development of a computer designed from the ground up for the blind and partially sighted. As technology advances, computers get faster, graphics get flashier, and those with vision impairment get left a little bit further behind- the Audible Computer project we are working on hopes to put a stop to this. The Audible Computer will take the form of a standard PC keyboard, but inside the casing will be an embedded computer running on recharagable batteries, complete with network connectivity, USB ports, and even a HDMI output for when you want to show something to other people. From the moment you take it out of the box you can feel in complete control. Using either the built in speaker, or a pair of headphones connected to the side of the keyboard your entire computing experience will be audible. Every function of the computer can be accessed using the keyboard. With simple easy to use voice prompts that tell you what keys to press every step of the way you will be effortlessly navigating your way around your very own audible word procesor, spreadsheet, email client, web browser, chat rooms, audible games and more. Don't know what a key on the keyboard does? Simply push a button to enter help mode and the computer will tell you what any key on the keyboard does. The project is still in it's early days, but we hope to have a working model by June of next year. Please check out our page on the Pozible website at http://www.pozible.com/audiblecomputer for more details. I would very much appreciate your constructive feedback, feature suggestions or support to try and make the project a success.
