AudioXS4All
telephone access to everything for people with print disabilities. | |
This would be a public/nonprofit/private partnership
that gives
people
who are blind or otherwise print disabled, unlimited
international
access to books, magazines, newspapers, audio-
described movies,
the internet, 311, chat rooms, counciling, and voting, in a
simple
clear
format,
over the telephone, using the push-button key
pad. Adding
voice recognition and braille accessibility would be a
plus, but the
main thing here is that the interface is barebones simple
and no
ads.
The fact that this is audio over an analog line would
make it harder
to pirate, thus a good compromise with the publishing
industry and conservatives in general.

No, I said Access 4 All and its services to blind people, not music for geeks.

There was a service called -- I think -- Internet by phone in
te early 20000s that gave voice access to websites. |

There was a service called "ask god" around the same time
that hooked seniors up with college grads who would do
email, search and banking for 20$ an hour over the phone. |
