Hello Regina,
I was the original creator of the list and the author of the web site.
I have to admit to having not had much time for a while now to maintain
the Web site but I hope to make some improvements now I am beginning
again to have a little more time.
I too am totally blind, since 2008. I manage to do everythin I do on
Linux and Windows and on the Pi with no sighted assitance because I am
very independently minded and if I can't do it with no help, I don't do it.
Your partners name doesn't happen to be Philip by any chance? I know an
Australian chap with the same name I used to work with in the nineties
and I know he now has a Swiss partner.
There are instructions on the site about how to get my speech code going
on the Pi to provide console speech without any stuttering. I think
there is also a page which explains the need for it.
There are also a large number of people on here willing to help and talk
about the Pi. Spread all over the world.

Hi all
Looking for Raspberry Pi accessibility projects, I found the
Raspberry-VI-Page and this list - and now here I am ;-)
I am Regina, totally blind since about 1994 and live in Switzerland together
with my sighted partner (who will be my husband in a month ;-)) We both are
techies and tinkerers. I run my own ubuntu server with services like mail,
xmpp/jabber, a groupware and my own cloud system.
In addition I have built a video server using a Raspberry Pi 1. Thanks to
bubbleupmp and minidlna, we can stream the videos from my server to our
smart phones.
Last year I had the idea to make a talking watch for a swimming pool in a
hotel for handicapped guests - as far as I know there is still no waterprove
watch for the blind. For this project we used a Raspberry Py 2.
I work on my Raspbbery Pi via ssh fromm y PC or my ubuntu server. For
setting it up, I first connected it to my notebook using a
usb/serial/adapter and Teraterm. Surely it makes fun working together with
my partner, but it would be a great experience setting up a Pi without
sighted assistance.
Well, I think i've written enough for today ;-)
I'm glad having found this list and hope I can learn a lot here.
Greetings
Regina
