Re: accessible software

[Jane Jordan (gmail)]

Folks, if you want programs on this list email with this subject line:
accessible software for Mac
and tell me what the program is, where to get it, and how you use it  
with VO if it requires extra work.  Just trying to take the load off  
of Travis some.

I haven't yet separated the list into 3rd party and apple yet.  I  
do want to include every piece of software I can find that's  
accessible, and eventually have a blurb on each one, explaining  
what it is used for, where to get it, and how much work needs done  
to use it with vo.  Also, there needs to be some sort of devision  
for terminal as opposed to gui apps.  This isn't done yet.
Jane has graciously offered to help with the list, and tracking  
down program links and the like, so that will help considerably.
Thank you Jane.
What's up now is just a quick list I threw together in about ten  
minutes.  It's by no means complete, and heavily concentrated on  
apple apps, with only a couple other programs non-apple listed.   
Hopefully in the next day or two it'll turn into something that can  
be a real reference.

Hi Travis,
    Did you include your own efforts, as well as Greg's Braille

Ok, an extreme alpha list is up.  Check it out, let me know what  
to add,
what to move, and what to change.
http://www.softcon.com/mac/
I'm thinking we need to add links to each program that is a 3rd party
program, so it can be downloaded.
Also need to add description pages for programs that don't work  
100% out of
the box with instructions on how to use them successfully.
Please send me all your comments, layout design ideas, and more.
We'll get this working, and make it a one-stop source for accessible
software on the mac.
Well, maybe not, but it sounds good.
