Hi Folk,
Haven't heard the interview yet but hope to tomorrow.
Wouldn't come up for me this evening online
Yes it's important to really get our message out there with the public!
Great "talking" amongst ourselves but getting it out there is really too the
way surely to go.
Enough in the public eye is great but overall a balance so we don't "shoot
ourselves in the foot" and do what we don't intend with perhaps turning the
public off!
It was a great interview by all accounts.
Well done Stuart!
Tony Sweeney

Hi Derbhile,
Many thanks for your email and kind words!
I think pushing these topics on to mainstream radio is the way we need to go
in the future.
Noggling is more for object recognition, whereas the KNFB reader is more of a
text scanning solution.
Regards, and thanks again!
Stuart.

Hi
Just a note to say well done to Stuart Lawler for lifting the list on
assistive technology to listeners of the John Murray Show. He really
demonstrated the skill visually impaired people have with computers and how
easily accessible computers are other technologies are now. A lot of sighted
people still think visually impaired people can't use a computer, so Stuart's
interview did a lot to debunk the myth. And I'm sure all our lives are richer
for knowing how to 'noggle.'
By the way, Stuart, is that noggle thing the same as the KNFB reader?
Best wishes,
Derbhile
