		<description><![CDATA[Despite Apple&#8217;s leading efforts in accessibility technology, I have always found iTunes extremely hard to use. Apple&#8217;s major focus has been on VoiceOver and screen reader software compatibility. There are many visually impaired computer users out there (and right here) who have not made the switch to a non-visual interface, preferring to rely on large font sizes, high contrast color schemes and zooming. iTunes is just as beautiful as all of Apple&#8217;s software. It has a lovely color scheme and its layout is aesthetically pleasing. The program is very resistant to large fonts and alternate color schemes. Until today, I have had to rely on zooming, squinting and my low vision aids to navigate my songs and playlists. Now, I have found a hack to fix the problem. Buried in a comment on a earlier post, I found a link to Teridon&#8217;s Resource file hacks for iTunes for Windows. This unhappily named site offers a free bit of software, the iTunes Font Size Editor, that does one and only one thing. It allows you to customize the font size of the song list in iTunes. Teridon puts it this way: &#8220;iTunes gives you two font sizes: &#8220;small&#8221; (which is 8pt) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wikipanion is a feature-rich access point Wikipedia on the iPhone. it has an intelligent, well thought out interface. Besides support for multiple languages, Wikipanion has smart search and bookmarking features. you can also e-mail your search results to disbelieving friends. Wikipanion is also quite accessible. Not only is the font size adjustable, but you can use both multi-touch and double-tap zooming. You can use Wikipanion in either landscape or portrait mode. The only major accessibility feature it lacks is the ability to choose an alternate color scheme. The Wikipanion web site offers detailed descriptions of these features. This intellgent layout is described as Pretty Print: Wikipanion&#8217;s custom formatting for the iPhone formats each page so that it is easy to read and quick to load. With a direct connection to the Wikipedia servers, pages load several times faster than when viewed from Safari. Wikipanion is the only Wikipedia reader to support double tap zooming in and out on the page. It also has complicated algorithms to display tables, size images and scale TeX equations for easier viewing. The adjustable font slider is describes as Sizes that fit: Interactively resize the font size to whatever you please right in the interface. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I garnered some First Impressions of the New Kindle DX from the NYTimes&#8217;s Gadgetwise Blog. According to the post, the new Kindle DX&#8216;s main feature is its larger size. The DX has a 9.7-inch display, which the company says is 2 1/2 times the size of the Kindle 2. But the device doesn’t feel or look as large as a sheet of copier paper. It won’t give you the feeling of reading an entire page of a newspaper. You read the paper by flipping through it, article by article. With a price tag just south of $500, this e-book reader ought to have some bang for these big bucks. The larger screen is great, but what does this mean for the visually impaired? The Kindle already comes with a hobbled text to speech function and a narrow choic of font sizes. Rumors have it that Amazon engineers are looking at adding an audio interface option. Digging a little deeper on the Kindle DX s web site, I found a list of the DX&#8217;s fetures that might be useful for the visually imapired. Auto-Rotating Screen By simply turning the device, you can immediately see full-width landscape views of maps, graphs, tables [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The iPhone Mail app offers an adjustable minimum font size. It is not obvious how to access this setting. Apple buried this feature in the Settings app and can not be accessed from the Mail app itself. From the home screen, tap on the Settings app. Then tap on the Mail, Contacts &#38; Calendars tab. From there you can selcet the font size. The options run from small to giant, though I do thot think that Apple uses the same dictionary that I do. Regardless, the size variation makes a significant difference in the readability of email messages. The settings also controls minimum font sizes in the Calendar and Contacts apps.  Multitouch zoom functions in Mail, so you can zoom in when the Giant font is not large enough. For, I also need to zoom in. Unfortunately, Calendar and Contacts do not allow zoom. None of these apps allow landscape mode either, which could also increase readability. As you can see with these two screen shots,small is much smaller than giant. You can also see that giant is already pretty small. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Maps is a great thing. There is no question about it. But it is not perfect. Surprisingly, it suffers from the same gripe I have with map books and atlases. I can not read the print. It is simply too small, no matter how much you zoom in. This is true both on a computer and on an iPhone. On a PC, the proper balance of Full page and text zoom can help, but there is no similar solution on the iPhone. As you can see here, no matter how much I zoom into Chapel Hill in the iPhone&#8217;s Maps app, the text size stays tiny. The screen stays uncluttered, but I am still lost. How could this be fixed? One option is to to allow for adjustable font sizes. If a cluttered map with overlapping text a serious issue, how about some kind of pop-up box when a street is tapped? There must be a creative solution out there. Google just needs to find and implement it. Until then, iPhone maps are just some pretty pictures for me. Hmmm&#8230; That last sentence gave me an idea for a workaround. Screenshots, where you take a picture of what is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you can tell, I am a big fan of WordPress, which I use to publish this blog. But I am not always at my desk when a good idea for a post strikes. I have been looking into ways to blog on the go, so to speak, even if that just means while sitting in the living room. Since laptops are too unwieldy and their screens to small to accommodate my visual needs, I can not just borrow my wife&#8217;s laptop. So I can use either an analog notebook (the one with pages) and pen or my iPod Touch. I can not read my own handwriting much of the time, so going old-school presents too many transcription problems. So how can my iPod help? The first way is to use email. Since the iPhone Mail app is not particularly accessible, there are a number of substitutes available in the App Store, from simple mail apps like EasyWriter to more fully-featured note-taking apps like Fliq Notes. The best way should be to use WordPress&#8217; own iPhone app, WordPress for iPhone. As you can see in their video overview below, this app packs a lot of great WordPress features. What this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The NY Times, along with every other news source, is reporting on the new version of Amazon&#8217;s e-book reader, the Kindle.Buried among all the other changes is one important accessibility feature: text-to-speech. According to the Times: Giving Voice to the Kindle: The Kindle 2 also has text-to-speech built in. “Any book, blog, magazine or personal document can be read aloud,” Mr. Bezos said. Users can switch between reading text and hearing it read by a fairly computerized voice. “It’s very easy to go back and forth between reading and listening,” Mr. Bezos said I have tested out the first version, as my wife has the Kindle 1.0. With its adjustable font size set to the maximum, I can read the text fairly easily with my low vision reading glasses. I look forward to testing out the new text-to-speech feature when I find someone with the new version. The new Kindle&#8217;s text-to-speech offers two voices, male and female, and does not offer variable speed playback. I really like the variable spped playback on the iPod, though I wish it had more than three settings. We will have to wait on reviews of the reading quality, but Nuance, who provides the Kindle&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Earth is a profoundly visual program. It is fun to watch the program zoom in and out, moving around the planet with breathtaking visual effect. It is useful to learn about the geography, both topographic and human, of particular locations. In the end, Google Earth is fundamentally visual, so why would it be useful to the blind? For the profoundly blind, the interface would need to be rethought completely using tactile and auditory interfaces. But, for the partially sighted, Google Earth is that magic atlas I always wished for growing up. To be able to zoom in and out lets me see the fine detail that I never could in a book. Maps have always frustrated me. I never have the necessary magnification with me to read street names or route numbers. With Google Earth, I can map out and familiarize myself with routes and neighborhoods. Earth&#8217;s programmers, up to now, have left accessibility off the list of priorities. Text size was tiny and the color scheme had lots of low contrast blue-on-white. In the latest version of Earth, Google has made one concession, larger font sizes. The color and font schemes are not adjustable, but the default font [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spotted recently on Slashdot: Hardware: New Font Uses Holes To Cut Ink Use. Posted by timothy on Wednesday December 17, @04:38PM from the more-you-take-away dept. An anonymous reader writes &#8220;A Dutch company has taken an open source Sans Serif font and added holes to it to try and save on printer ink costs. The Ecofont is claimed to save up to 20 percent of ink costs, but it allegedly took the firm a while to perfect the ratio of the maximum number of holes possible without sacrificing readability. It is a pretty nifty idea, definitely outside the box. The concept raised a few questions in my mind. How accessible is it? How much is readability reduced? So I have downloaded the font. After a few minutes I realizsd that it needed to go into Window&#8217;s Font folder. Here is a sample of the font at different sizes. In order to do a proper comparison, I needed to see it side by side with another font. So here is a head-to-head with Times New Roman. The fonts sizes run from 12 to 32. As you can see below, at smaller font sizes the differences are minimal. At larger sizes, the font [...]]]></description>
