  We are looking forward to seeing the GNOME Shell Magnifier preference dialog in GNOME 3.4 (late March 2012). For a preview of the dialog, see: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Magnification#Universal_Access_Panel_Zoom_Options

  When we get more news, we will let you know. We expect there will be among other things survey, workshops, etc. organised where end-users and core gatekeepers will be asked to participate and contribute.

  CLOUD4all, the European Commission funded program to develop a cloud-based accessibility architecture, started on 1st of November 2011. The project began with a meeting of the 30 partners and collaborators in Madrid, at Technosite/ONCE. Technosite is a member of the Raising the Floor Consortium and the coordinator for the project. Raising the Floor – International is the technical coordinator for CLOUD4all. CLOUD4all will be carrying out research on some of the key core technologies of the Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure (GPII) and creating some of its first implementations. The 4-year, $3 million/year project is funding the European efforts of the Consortium to build the GPII.

  Dear Abdel, Cloud4All will be presented during our forthcoming AEGIS Conference. Presentations will be made available during the event itself via Twitter and SlideShare.

  Is that the Cloud4All IP I have heard about?

• Karel Oct 03, 2010

  
  This is in the works actually already, see the National and Global Public Inclusive Infrastructures (http://NPII.org) initiative which is most likely also to get a European sister/brother.

  The ideal would be for user requirements to be universally available everywhere - either from the Cloud or by communication with a mobile device that can communicate with a PC (via Bluetooth say) and apply the settings needed, or even transfer AT software. There are security issues of course. David

  Seamless, it should be only activated when a user with a disability is using the PC or mobile. Maybe a personal profile to activate that?

  If you would have to explain to a developer what an application or assistive technology would have to look like, what would you say?

• Karel Jul 24, 2010

  
  @Abdel: Also following paper is planned / Ook volgende paper is gepland - Status AT ICT Usage In Europe, Karel VAN ISACKER, 1st ÆGIS International Conference, Seville, Spain, 7-8 October 2010. Ook deze zal ik online plaatsen. / Also this one will be placed online.

• Karel Jul 24, 2010

  
  @Abdel: you seem to be busy today in the forum :-). Study will first go through an EC review and after acceptance will indeed be made publicly available. If more interest, check the slides at www.slideshare.net/aegisproject/1-gisaccessible-users-involvement-driving-accessibility-forward for the ETAPS FOSS-AMA satellite event where I present part of the study.

  Who are (or could be) users of Assistive Technology? At some time or other in our lives we all will probably be AT users. Microsoft did a survey a few years ago which is now in phase II. Phase I found that the majority of users would find AT in some form or other helpful – even if it is just slowing down the mouse, slowing the keyboard repeat or changing the screen colours. http://www.microsoft.com/enable/research/phase1.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/enable/research/phase2.aspx

  the pricing of ass tech is really the biggest barrier, and we better add to that the poor training we get or in most cases do not get

• GUEST Nov 17, 2009

  
  Do you use assistive technologies to access to your computer?

• GUEST Nov 17, 2009

  
  Jaws 6.10 and realspeak

• GUEST Nov 17, 2009

  
  Are you satisfied with the assistive technology as you use it, or would you like it to be improved (how)?

• GUEST Nov 17, 2009

  
  Cheaper would be good, and if Open SOurce better, but will all this be compatible with my current software installed?

• GUEST Nov 17, 2009

  
  What assistive technologies do you use?
