Lyn,

I'm also a big Textpattern fan and have done some custom plug-in development
for it on a per client basis. I find that for the end client Textpattern is
easy to understand and follow once they grasp Textile the mark-up
language. If they struggle with Textile there is a plug-in for Textpattern
to enable a the Tiny-MCE WYSIWYG editor.

Above all, Textpattern will meet your clients needs and then some. All the
clients I have used Textpattern with are very happy and enjoy the simple
environment.

 Yes, I always try to do all updating myself  and this is the first client
 that really needs to do it as it will be a fairly frequent event. I had a
 talk to him and it will  only be replacing one photo with another and
 changing a bit of text so nothing too onerous. Will have a look at
 TextPattern I think and will take you up on your offer of help Rahul once I
 get started, which won't be for a little while until I receive all the data.

[WSG] Article: Vocalize Firefox (text-to-speech extensions for Firefox)

2007-12-04 Thread Nick Lo
I'm wondering if anyone has tried/tested the following potentially  
useful extensions and if so what their opinion was/is:


Two recently released text-to-speech extensions can transform  
Firefox into a talking Web browser suitable for users with visual  
impairments -- and anyone else who can use a speech interface to the  
Web. Fire Vox is designed to be a full-fledged screen reader in a  
browser, usable for daily browsing even for unsighted users. CLiCk,  
Speak provides point-and-click screen reading, which can be helpful  
for partially-sighted users or sighted users who have written  
language difficulties (such as dyslexia).

I haven't tried them before but they sound very interesting. I'll have 
to give them a look.
