Hello Everyone,

Mobile Geo is the first and only world-class GPS navigation software solution for the blind and low vision that is 100% compatible with Microsoft Voice Command, a voice interface solution that allows you to issue commands by merely speaking them into the phone.  So, the next time you find yourself walking up the boulevard or rolling down the street ask Geo and it will tell you where you are, the distance to the next intersection or what turn you should make next.

In this post I provide a tutorial on how to access Mobile Geo with Microsoft Voice Command.  Read the rest of this entry »

On the 200th anniversary of your blessed birth, it is my esteemed honor to thank you, Monsieur Louis Braille, for giving me and thousands and thousands like me, who see by the candles of  the mind, a means, a written language to explore the path of life with those who see by the light of the stars.

The name Braille!  Ah, there’s something about your name.  Perhaps it’s special because I know that without you, I would not be what I am and I could not become what I one day hope to be.

Most sincerely,

Mark Taylor

Hello Friends,

As you may recall, on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 many of us waited anxiously to hear the inaugural address of President Barack Obama.

As I listened to his speech, I remember consciously burning the moment into my mind so that I would never forget where I was or what I was doing as he so eloquently stood before the world and bravely conveyed the contents of his character and the direction of his path.  Read the rest of this entry »

Hello Everyone,  

Rarely do I participate in spreading the word about feature film releases but I must admit that “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, a movie scheduled to debut on December 25, 2008, has definitely grabbed my attention.  Read the rest of this entry »

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.  Read the rest of this entry »

Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.

My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.

A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him. [BOOING]  Read the rest of this entry »

Hello Everyone, 

The following link will take you to the Candle Shore Transcript Page for the Microsoft Professional Developers 2008 Conference Keynote Speeches which I have adapted for viewing as either a no-graphics Web page or in a downloadable US Braille formatted document for use with either a Braille embosser or refreshable Braille device..

Enjoy,

Hello Everyone,

In an effort to make the documentation for Code Factory’s GPS software solution, Mobile Geo, a little more manageable, I have adapted and reformatted the Mobile Geo user manual in a way that I hope you will find easier to use; for example, I have removed all of the tables.

You may download the Mobile Geo list of commands in MS Word, plain text, HTML, or US Braille format.

Enjoy,
