I just thought of a great invention (if it hasn’t been created already). An interface that translates every website into audiofiles. That way I could download them to play on an mp3 player or listen to while I work on other things away from the computer. I got the idea while listening to this Craftsanity podcast about etsy and realized it was just as great as surfing their message boards, but I was able to get work done at the same time.
Shouldn’t there be something like this for the blind already? Hmmm, have to do some research.
I think there is something like that already. In fact, I heard on the news recently that some group was going after Target because their website wasn’t accessible by the blind using this tool.
Yes… it’s called a screen reader. GET WITH THE TIMES PEOPLE!
