		<description><![CDATA[Google Experimental Search has a great experiment for the visually impaired. Accessible View is one of several experimental ways to access Google search results. The first key feature of Accessible View is keyboard navigation. Second, the selected search result is magnified for easier viewing. There is automatic integration with your screen reader or talking browser. I have been testing it out for a few days now. The magnified selection is great, but I also have become a big fan of the keyboard shortcuts. The feature is easy to turn on and off through the Google Experimental Search site. Here is a sample of the keyboard shortcuts: Key Action j or DOWN Selects the next item. k or UP Selects the previous item. &#60;Enter&#62; Opens the selected result. = Magnifies current item A Switches to Accessible Search Results W Switches to regular Web Search Results Currently, this feature is limited to the Firefox 3 web browser , though nagnification already works with Google Chrome and Apple&#8217;s Safari. Turn on Google Experimental Search&#8216;s Accesssible View and let me konw what you think.

		<description><![CDATA[As seen on Mac-ccessibility, there are some engineers at University of Washington&#8217;s AIM research group working a neat project to make mobile devices with touch screens, like the iPhone, more accessible to blind users. Slide Rule: Making Touch Screens Accessible to Blind Users Shaun K. Kane (iSchool), Jeffrey P. Bigham (CSE), and Jacob O. Wobbrock (iSchool) Exploring accessible one- and multi-finger interaction design for mobile and kiosk touch surfaces for visually impaired users and users without resources for visual attention They even have a YouTube video demonstration.

		<description><![CDATA[Following up on my earlier post about the lack of accessible Vista themes and my current feelings on standard internet color schemes, I posted the following to the accessible Google Group: Alternative Google Color Schemes &#8211; accessible &#124; Google Groups&#60; For the visually impaired, Google&#8217;s (as well as MS and most websites) color scheme is downright bad. Does Google have or could it develop an alternative accessible co or scheme? Not only should it be high contrast, but also light-on-dark. For me, I like yellow-on-black. Firefox and IE allow users to impose color schemes while browsing, but this method changes all text and background to the same two colors. This ruins the full use of each page. For example, in Gmail, the star feature becomes useless.For another, regular text and hyperlinks become indistinguishable. So this solution is only partial. This remains true for other websites and for Windows as well. Both Vista and XP have high-contrast color schemes, but there are both aesthetically unappealing (Visually impaired does not equal aesthetically unaware) and more problematic then helpful. Is this something that Google could/will implement? Is this something a third-party could do well? There are some third party tools (e.g. Firefox&#8217;s Accessibar), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This, Google Accessible Search: &#8220;Accessible Web Search for the Visually Challenged&#8221;. looks to be a great new resource for the visually impaired.
