Its name is "product search" by J.J. Meddaugh. You type in a keyword or multiple keywords for some product you wish to buy, and the app searches amazon and several merchants who sell specialty products for the visually impaired for the keywords. It builds a list of every product it finds which includes telling you the merchant; it puts a long description in an editbox which you can tab to when you have a product highlighted, and if you are interested, there's a command button which takes you to the merchants web site and right to the page for the product. It can make searching for something on a complex web site such as Amazon much simpler than usual, and if it's a specialty product for the visually impaired that you need, then it can save you time searching through various merchants web sites, each one being different from the others. It's a very nice app, and J.J.'s company the AT Guys had to put some real programming effort using their own web site, in order to make this app work. I figure anyone who feels overwhelmed by sites such as Amazon might want to give this a try. Enjoy, Chip If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
