Hello everyone,
We spent all day yesterday at Apple Expo, never a very healthy
thing to do for the bank account!
David Niemeijer was there and people seemed to be showing quite a
bit of interest in Assistiveware products. There was a conference
in the afternoon on the subject of the Mac for people with
disabilities and I was interviewed by a freelance journalist.
I decided to have a look at the IRISPen Executive which was being
demonstrated not too far from the Assistiveware stand. The person
in charge of the IRIS stand didn't know that the Mac can speak
other languages than English. He was demonstrating the IRISPen in
English which seemed a bit odd in France. Archie had his PowerBook
with him and let the guy hear the Infovox iVox French voices. The
demonstrator immediately suggested installing the IRISPen software
on Archie's machine to try it out in French. He was really
impressed with the results so we suggested he talk to David
Niemeijer about working with Acapela Group. Oh yes, we bought the
IRISPen Executive and I'm now trying to get to grips with it.
I also bought a cherry-red shell for my MacBook: very smart.
All in all, I think it was the best Apple Expo I've been to, and
I've been attending them for quite a number of years now.
Cheers,
Anne
