Hank,
Mouse keys is the numpad when activated through universal access prefs in
system prefs. It has a shortcut key to turn it on and off and acts sort
of like the Jaws cursor or the mouse cursor in window eyes. There is a
counterpart callled mouse keys in windows except I've not seen it work
all that well with speech.
As for drag and drop, that is something I am going to determine but I
have to work out a path for the eexercise since there is not much
indication through speech as to what is draggable and where it can be
dropped.

I like visiovoice. I use it with my visually impaired students andd
provide demonstrations of it. I also like to use it with mouse keys
because the talking interface is quite robust.

Hi David,
Interesting. VisioVoice sounds like a nice expansion to VoiceOver.
Has anyone used this? I may try out the demo at some point. The
multi-lingual support is the most impressive, and my girlfriend will
definitely be interested in it for that. *grin* I love the ability to
make text files to iPod ready iTunes format as well, although I'm not
sure those two options along are worth the $250 price tag. I got a
program to do to the text to audio conversion for free under Windows,
and am sure eventually I'll find another, similarly free solution under
Mac OSX. Still, seems like a nice package.

On the schedule I saw VoiceOver presentation and Mac osx accessibility
presentation. I attended the latter but had a conflict with the
former. VO was touched upon though and I used it during the
accessability lab.
There was also a set of presentations by assistiveware dealing with
their line of access products for the Mac. I provided a brief
demonstration of Visiovoice with VO and the IvoxInfovox voices onn
Saturday morning.
I agree, it was not an exciting conference for me but then I have
nothing to compare it too. Several people though said that it was the
best CSun in years.
You can learn more about assistiveware products at:
http://www.assistiveware.com
we've discussed them here before but incase you haven't checked them
out, theyy are worth a look.
I am not employyed by assistive ware.
Thanks!

There were a couple of presentations on VoiceOver. Perhaps,
three, but I'm not sure. Also, a few folks from Apple were wandering
about. Unfortunately, even though it was not an overly exciting show,
I didn't have much time to attend presentations or venture far from my
booth.
