This message is about the Audio Network, a website for the blind using audio web pages, controlled by standard keyboard navigation. It is the first site in the world that needs no adaptive technology to be accessible by blind and partially sighted users. The site is free and there is no cost involved whatsoever. The address of the site is a follows, after which we'd like to tell you about some of the things you can find on the site that may be of interest. Please feel free to pass this message along to anyone who you think might find it useful. www.yrguk.com There are many parts to the Audio Network. For example, it is the only place on the internet where you can listen to BBC Radio schedules for the forthcoming week in audio. Speaking of radio, there is a whole section of radio stations, where you can change channels at the touch of a button, without having to worry about annoying pop ups, registrations etc. If you like puzzles, quizzes, and games, then you will love the Audio Network. There are over 50 different trivia quizzes, puzzles, and games, ranging from snakes and ladders, baseball, and an evening at the greyhound races, through to straight trivia quizzes such as Frustration, Minefield, and who wants to win a million points. There is also an extensive range of music quizzes, and a difficult maze to work your way around (avoiding the trap doors of course!). The quizzes are fun for all ages, educational, and informative. There is also a daily selection of puzzles, ranging from crosswords to geography, through national anthems, and even a "spot the liar" competition. If drama is your thing, there are short stories and original radio plays from Hosiprog Presentations for your pleasure, as well as links to audio described movies provided by NTT. There is an inspirational corner, where you can listen to words of wisdom, and choose your colour of the day - you can even get a virtual fortune cookie from the genie! If sports is your thing, we have one of the most comprehensive sports sections dedicated to blind sports online! You can listen to goalball, blind soccer, or blind bolws, just as if you were there at the event! You can also find information about blind sports, and how to get involved. Want to send somebody a greetings card? It can be difficult to navigate if you are relying on the big guys such as Yahoo. The Audio Network offers an extensive range of audio poetry from classical and amateur authors, which are ready to listen to and send to your friends as an audio greetings card at the touch of a button! Want to have your own page? The newest section of the Audio Network allows you to do just that! The section is called "World Visions", and quite simply, you can have your own section on the site, to put your point of view, discuss your hobbies etc etc. - you don't even have to be able to record, we'll do that for you! And don't forget, the International Interactive Audio Magazine for the Blind - Soundaround - is also available through the Audio Network. June's edition is now online, and you can catch up with a whole 12 months of previous editions too! We hope you take a look at the site, we are sure you will find somthing to enjoy! Here is the link again. www.yrguk.com Best regards, Bill and David Teale. *********** END FORWARDED MESSAGE *********** Regards Steve, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: steve1963 MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
