Hi all.
@ the guys that are searching a thing to read epub, pdf and such. Why don't you use DSpeech? yeah, it's actually for making tts dialogues, but I also read lots of books with it. Be aware though, that you need to delete all .tab files within the folder and configure DSpeech so it doesn't maintain the pdf layout, for a better reading.
Also, it doesn't have an OCR, so it won't read images. But it's great when reading text because it even has automatic bookmarks, load recent file menu thingies, etc. I love it.
@ dark. Try using the object navigation and the arrow keys to throw the vlc's volume up or down, as you like. The object navigator on NVDA (I don't know if you guys call it that in english because I'm too lazy to go and read the exact name but that's the literal translation from spanish to english) reads the percentage, the progress of the media you're listening to, and some more fancy info. It's nice.
@ all the guys who are struggling with facebook. Have you guys tried Miranda NG? it's nice, but it's only for chat and publishing stuff into your wall. Also, there's m.facebook.com or mbasic.facebook.com, for mobile devices, but it's pretty accessible and you can read realtime notifications. Sure, you have to press the update link to... uh... update? the chat window, but it's 99% accessible in it's thing.
@ dardar. Nice question, huh? I'm actually struggling with things to have me entertained. Nowadays, most audiogames got me bored (I haven't tried yours yet except the sunrise waterfall thing but it's not an audiogame so don't take it personal) and basically that. I like noise making stuff and I had an idea that would be great. What about porting grezzo to the blind and visually impaired people?
Grezzo is a game where your goal is to survive. It's 3d and there are a lot of enemies varying from sheeps to... ghosts? demons? even mythical creatures such as dragons. There are actually lots of enemies and weaponry you can use. The story mode is not worthy, at least that's what my cousin said, but the free mode where you can destroy whatever you want in a complete and totally randomized map indeed rocks. I'd be sincerely thankful to you if you can port this thing. Also I can help with music and sounds, also sound editing, I have plenty of them and I would love to collaborate in the thing.
edit: damn, I got to edit the post because I had a freaking lot of spelling errors and I hate to have them lol.
Take care.
Mike.

I don't play games as much as I wish, but you can know that it's me if there's a John Weed over there. Ha ha!
