【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 . i didnamp。39。t have to be nice to people!
(laughter)
i no longer would be censored. for example, i was too shy then, and iamp。39。m actually too shy now, to ask anybody to read me out loud sexually explicit material. (laughter) but, you know, i could pop a book on in the middle of the night, and (laughter) (applause)
now, the kurzweil reader is simply a program on my laptop. thatamp。39。s what itamp。39。s shrunk to. and now i can scan the latest novel and not wait to get it into talking book libraries. i can keep up with my friends.
there are many people who have helped me in my life, and many that i havenamp。39。t met. one is another american inventor ted henter. ted was a motorcycle racer, but in 1978 he had a car accident and lost his sight, which is devastating if youamp。39。re trying to ride motorbikes. he then turned to being a waterskier and was a champion disabled waterskier. but in 1989, he teamed up with bill joyce to develop a program that would read out what was on the puter screen from the net or from what was on the puter. itamp。39。s called jaws, job access with speech, and it sounds like this.

ron mccallum: isnamp。39。t that slow?

of course, talking books for the blind predated all this technology. after all, the longplaying record was developed in the early 1930s, and now we put talking books on cds using the digital access system known as daisy. but when iamp。39。m reading with synthetic voices, i love to e home and read a racy novel with a real voice.
now there are still barriers in front of we people with disabilities. many websites we canamp。39。t read using jaws and the other technologies. websites are often very visual, and there are all these sorts of graphs that arenamp。39。t labeled and buttons that arenamp。39。t labeled, and thatamp。39。s why the world wide web consortium 3, known as w3c, has developed worldwide standards for the internet. and we want all internet users or internet site owners to make their sites patible so that we persons without vision can have a
