In Tech chat 50, we spoke live with users of AmazonS3 JungleDis, Carbonite, Mozy, MobileMe and Drop Box. We showed how to back up software, music documents and other important files, before they are lost to some unexpected event, which will definitely happen if you do not take precautions in advance.
We also showed how to make an unattended installDisk to automatically install Microsoft Windows XP, without user intervention or sighted assistance. We covered how to insert all Windows updates, add the latest software like Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6, CCleaner, Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3, Windows Media Player 11, FileZilla FTP, and more. And we discussed how to include drivers for sound, video and networking.

Thanks to everyone responsible for
Serotek’s iBlink Radio Making the Front Page in the Apps Section of the iTunes Store.
This proves that the blind community does have a voice, and that we can, and should, promote quality applications, and vote down those that are not accessible. We hope you will spread the word to people in other countries, submit reviews, and take time to rate applications before removing them from your iPhone.
The SeroTalk team!

Serotek today unveiled its newest product, the AE HotSpot, at the 2010 ATIA conference in Orlando, FL. This revolutionary appliance, based on the same technology as Serotek’s Web-based Accessible Event service, gives people with disabilities access to classroom presentations, seminars, and other events. For the first time, people who have hearing or visual impairments can take full advantage of all aspects of any online or on-site event/presentation.
By leveraging our Accessible Event platform and secure wireless networking technology, Serotek’s AE HotSpot appliance allows event participants with disabilities to access slides, Excel spreadsheets, Web pages, and Word documents using their own wireless-enabled computers and access technology in real time. With the AE HotSpot, an event can be accessed from the Internet if the event coordinator wishes, but an Internet connection is not necessary for on-site participants to have full access to the event. That’s because the AE HotSpot appliance is a completely independent WiFi access point. This allows the event coordinator and/or presenter to decide what content will and will not be available to the attendees. The self-contained nature of this appliance enables a closed, secure Intranet environment, regardless of whether Internet connectivity is available. However, where Internet connectivity is available, the event coordinator can configure the AE HotSpot appliance to provide wireless Internet access as well as access to the event. The AE HotSpot can also record all event content and publish it on a web site or intranet with no need to install additional software on the target server. This enables anyone to deploy an accessible recording of an event, even if they don’t subscribe to the Web-based Accessible Event service.
Serotek will release the AE HotSpot soon. Learn more about the AE HotSpot by watching this accessible presentation.

Serotek Corporation cordially invites you to drop by booth 520 at the 2010 ATIA conference at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, January 28 – 30. Come and see hands-on demonstrations of all the latest Serotek technology, including a new surprise or two.
If you’re wondering which sessions to attend at this year’s conference, Serotek’s CEO, Mike Calvo, is conducting a presentation that you won’t want to miss. “The Art of Being a Change Agent” will be presented on January 28 in the Curacao room ¾, from 1:30 to 2:30.
When you’re not attending sessions, drop by our booth and learn how you can have access to powerful and portable assistive technology without breaking the bank. Serotek is the first company offering you the ability to purchase screen reading technology on an as-needed basis through our “Build A Bundle” service. Starting at just $9.95 per month, you can now have access to one license of the System Access screen reader, with additional machine licenses for only $5 per month. Try out the System Access Mobile Network, known as SAMNet, with over 2,100 described movies, thousands of radio stations, recipes, TV shows, the Socializer for instant messaging and social networking, voice chat to meet other interesting people, web-based email, and so much more for just $9.95 per month. For an additional $5, you can provide remote support and training to other Serotek customers, and even access your own computers remotely from anywhere!
When you’d like to carry your SAMNet content with you, you can do so by transferring it to your favorite portable device. SAMNet supports a wide variety of audio players, allowing members to sync a wealth of content from the network including movies, email, and now, books from the National Library Service BARD program. IN addition to the Victor Reader Stream from Humanware, the Icon from Levelstar, and Braile Plus from the American Printinghouse for the Blind, SAMNet content is supported on the Plextalk Pocket. Serotek is also proud to announce that we will very soon be supporting the BookSense player from GW Micro and we’ll be demoing this upcoming support in our booth. If you don’t yet have one of these sleek and powerful players, drop by the GW Micro booth #413 and pick one up, or visit www.gwmicro.com for more information.
