Hi

The December edition of Infotech magazine will be released later this
week containing the following items:

First, we have an interview with Humanware concerning the new solution
available to allow people who are deaf-blind to gain more from the
Braille Note in terms of communication with other people.  DBC is a new
product and this interview provides excellent listening and valuable
information about it.

Next, we have a series of presentations from the Visually Impaired
Computer Society of Ireland Technology Day held in Cork recently.

We hear an excellent presentation concerning the advantages and
disadvantages of using the Apple Mac when you are visually impaired.

The next item is a presentation from Ash Technology about the range of
low vision products.

Debbie Platt from D D Aware talks about and demonstrates the K-Sonar.

Finally for the VICS presentations, we have a presentation concerning
access to Digital Television services in Ireland.

We conclude with an item in three parts relating to access to television
services in the UK.  We begin with an in depth demonstration of
accessing BBC television output in several ways.  This is followed by a
discussion with Infotech listener Steve Nutt concerning taking advantage
of the ITV Catchup service and television programmes which can be
accessed using iTunes.

In the next segment, we take a look at the Sky Plus system, the Portset
freeview receiver and how audio description can be accessed via an
integrated receiver available within some televisions.

Finally, we discuss the availability of audio described television
programmes including the RNIB's new set-top box accessing the Freeview
platform.

We already have some great articles planned for the January 2009
edition.
