Wired For Business! Strategies for incorporating Wireless Braille into your Technological Journey!
Tek Talk Monday, March 3, 2008
You will not want to miss the upcoming Accessible World online Tek Talk training event as Larry Lewis, President of Flying Blind LLC, will be showcasing the entire line of wireless Braille displays manufactured by Baum Retek, a European-based manufacturer with decades of experience developing products for persons who are vision impaired.
The virtual audience will be taken on a tour of the hardware of these displays and will hear a demonstration of methods for efficiently using these displays to wirelessly access a PC as well as Mobilespeak-equipped PDAs and Smartphones.
Additionally, Lewis will discuss how these displays have complimented his abilities to perform a variety of employment-related tasks in a number of settings and will be available to offer suggestions and guidance to participants as to how to incorporate the use of wireless, refreshable Braille into their own technological experiences.
