This weeks Innovations is full of amazing "first-timers"... We will be
having an interview with one of the organisers and team members of the
Driving for the Blind project at Virginia Tech college, we will have a talk
about radio data bases, and get this - a new technology for broadcasting!
How can multiple people broadcast over the internet or even the radio from
different studios in different continents, and both send music in glorious
stereo quality with minimal latency? Yes it is possible, we have done it,
and we'll show you how. And the highlight of our show - a very special
announcement about new and amazing services for our station, something
you've all been waiting for.
This all happens on Innovations, which first airs on Tuesday at 17UTC,
that's 1pm US Eastern, 10am US pacific, and 7pm in Central Europe only on
the Global Voice
www.theglobalvoice.info
Check the schedule for repeat times in your time zone.
So join Chrissie Cochrane for a program I know you will not want to miss,
the most innovative segment of Innovations yet, only on The Global Voice.
Sincerely,
Naama Erez
Executive producer
The Global Voice
-- The Global Voice, the radio station helping the world's blind and
sighted communities see eye to eye.

Accessible TV Listings
<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/FredsHeadCompanion/%7E3/oXlCPYEH8so/accessible-tv-listings.html>

TV Guide

BlindBargains.com <http://www.blindbargains.com> has found possibly the
simplest interface for TV listings and it's from an unexpected source.
Often times, wireless interfaces to websites are more usable and slimmed
down, making them easier to navigate. Try this link to TV Guide's
wireless portal, and obtain a list of what's currently on for your cable
or satellite provider in a few seconds. The listings are completely
uncluttered, with just the channel number, name, and the current show.

Click this link to visit the wireless version of TV-Guide's TV listings:
http://wireless.tvguide.com <http://wireless.tvguide.com>.

Epguides

Epguides is a website where you can quickly lookup TV show episode
titles and air dates. The site currently has episode lists for over 4100
TV shows. You can search and browse them alphabetically, sort them by
year, check out currently running shows and view a current and fall US
TV schedule grid.

Additionally you can subscribe to newly added shows, recently canceled
shows (US only) and recently released US and UK TV DVDs, and get updates
on your feed reader using RSS.

Click this link to visit http://www.epguides.com <http://www.epguides.com>.

LocateTV

LocateTV is a quick search engine for TV listings, in particular for TV
shows and Movies. Find out when your favorite shows or movies are shown
on TV, see whether they are available online (both free and paid), and
view where you can get them on DVD.

Click this link to visit http://www.locatetv.com <http://www.locatetv.com>.

RerunCheck Notifies You if Your Favorite Show is a Repeat

RerunCheck saves you from the time and frustration of setting aside time
for live television, only to say: Wait a second, I've seen that before,
man, it's a rerun.

RerunCheck is a very straightforward search, having you type or grab a
show name from a list of popular entries. RerunCheck tells you if the
next airtime of that show is a rerun or not via email and RSS
notifications, and without setting up an account. The only additional
feature account registration seems to add is the ability to manage the
two types of notifications, although if you use RSS ,all you need to do
to manage things is delete the feed when you don't want it anymore.

RSS Can Be Your TV Guide and the TV Too
<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/FredsHeadCompanion/%7E3/ArUMj8H25hA/rss-can-be-your-tv-guide.html>

RSS feeds are a great way of receiving real-time updates and ensuring
that you never forget to check your favorite websites. ezRSS offers to
extend the convenience of RSS to your TV life by allowing you to either
receive a notification the day a new episode of your favorite show is
aired or to actually download the latest episode using bittorrent
technology. No sign up is required, just go to ezRSS.com
<http://www.ezRSS.com> and search through the extensive alphabetized
list of TV shows until you find your favorites, check the boxes next to
them and then click "create feed". Nothing else is required, just sit
back and relax with the knowledge that you will never have to miss an
episode of your favorite programs again.

By using bittorrent, the download of the most recent episode of your
favorite episode automatically starts as soon as a new episode is
available. This is known as broadcatching.

This is quite possibly the easiest and most accessible way to be
reminded about when the next episode of your favorite show is going to
air. People will love the simplicity, the extensive selection and the
ability to request shows that aren't currently listed.

Click this link to visit http://www.ezRSS.com <http://www.ezRSS.com>.
Need a little help setting up broadcatching with your BitTorrent client?

uTorrent/ <http://ezrss.it/faq>.

Finding Independent Coffee Houses
<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/FredsHeadCompanion/%7E3/MaRIkRmdBeM/finding-independent-coffee-houses.html>

Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:33 AM PDT

One of the things I've learned from my blind and visually impaired
friends on Twitter is how many of us love our coffee. I'm not talking
about getting up in the morning and making a fresh cup or two, I'm
talking about getting out and traveling to a local coffee shop and and
enjoying some really fresh coffee.

Now, don't get me wrong, nothing's better than brewing your own coffee
at home with fresh roasted coffee beans… but sometimes you want to get
out of the house, or you're on the road, or maybe you're meeting up with
a friend and need to find a good, quality coffee house to visit.

Finding one can be difficult, especially when you can't read the window
signs or look down the street to see what's offered. Delocator.net is a
website that can help you find local coffee shops. Simply pull up the
Web site, enter in a zip code and choose 'coffee' from the drop-down
menu (the site started out focusing solely on coffee but now also offers
search for books, movies, music and organic food).

Not only is it important to support small businesses found in the
Delocator, but you may also find that a lot of these coffee houses use
fresher beans and are more dedicated to maintaining high quality, giving
you a better tasting coffee or espresso-based drink (they almost have to
be, to compete with the big guys).

Hello guys and gals. For those of you using facebook or wanting to use
facebook. There is a cleaner interface to the site, but you have to be
aware that it's for mobile phones. It works great with jaws though. I
use a combination of the regular facebook site and the mobile depending
upon what I'm doing. The mobile site is

http://m.facebook.com <http://m.facebook.com>

Check it out if your looking for an easier interface for facebook.

New Grant from the Mozilla Foundation furthers NVDA

We would like to thank the Mozilla Foundation for providing NV Access
with another grant allowing NVDA to continue and grow. Initially this grant
will allow development of much more proper and complete support for ARIA
live regions in NVDA. Specifically this work will firstly consist of redesigning
NVDA's in-process code, making it less specific to virtual buffers and more
generalized so that it will be much easier to add code for such things
as live regions. I have started this work already. Secondly support for
live regions will be designed within the new in-process framework so
that NVDA will be able to appropriately announce changes in live regions
found in web documents and applications. Examples of live regions are the
message history of a chat application, a value on a score board, or even
perhaps subtitles, audio description text, or captions on a video streamed
over the web.
