Re: NY Times Technology Coverage on the LookTel Money Reader App
My apologies for the cross-post, All… I felt this was important for people on both lists to see. I'd encourage peeps to read down to Esther's note after mine. -Thanks!… Esther; thanks so much for sending this along! I posted a comment at: http://community.nytimes.com/comments/bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/an-iphone-app-helps-the-blind-identify-currency/?permid=25#comment25 -And I thankfully also saw some familiar screen names adding their voices there as well. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to edit my comment after it was submitted, to add that the Mac also comes with VO (as the post was talking about iOS exclusively) but I think the appropriate points were still made. :) I'd love to see more of our iOS-using listers from VIPhone and MacVisionaries alike adding their voices as well. Responding to high-profile blogs and such, like this one can be an excellent opportunity to positively educate and impact the general public as well as professionals in areas that can likely have a positive effect for all of us in the future. Thanks again and do have a wonderful day!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Mar 9, 2011, at 2:59 PM, Esther wrote: Hi all, The LookTel Money Reader is the subject of The New York Times Technology coverage in today's blog article, "An iPhone App Helps the Blind Identify Currency" by Nick Bolton: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/an-iphone-app-helps-the-blind-identify-currency/ Could some of our articulate list members get on the blog and post a comment?
