Pour ceux qui veulent LE job de leur vie! :-)
J'ai l'impression que ça ne sera pas du ll, mais os x étant un Unix, je
me demande si ça ne pourrait pas avoir un jour des portages sous
X-window ? ? ?
Le Gnome Accessibility Project progresse, certes, mais une interface
pour MS-W$ existe déjà depuis + de 8 ans!!!
Ne désespérons pas pour autant, biensûr!
Aldo.

Don't reply to me or to Don Barrett about this.  It looks like something is
afoot, and perhaps there is a blind person who could do this job.

>  Screen Reader Application Engineer 
>Req. ID: 2017829 
>Location: Santa Clara Valley, California 
>Country: United States   Do you want to join the team that develops the Mac
>OS X software and applications? Do you want to work on a brand new
>application for Mac OS X? Have you been looking for a challenging new
>project to work on? If so, then this is the group for you.  We are looking
>for a Software developer responsible for the design, implementation and
>testing of a Screen Reader application on Mac OS X that needs to be built
>from scratch. The application will convert all on-screen data (text,
>objects and controls) to speech or Braille enabling a blind or partially
>signed user to use a Mac. The application will utilize various technologies
>in the OS including accessibility, speech, web browsers and text. As part
>of developing the screen reader application, the engineer is responsible
>for communicating and driving new APIs in other parts of the OS required to
>develop the application.  We're looking for two types of people: 
>1) A software engineer with experience developing accessibility/assistive
>technology applications (such as a screen reader or magnifier). OS X
>experience is preferred, but not required with this expertise.  2) If you
>don't have the accessibility expertise, then we'd like to hire a solid OS X
>applications engineer who has designed and developed complicated
>applications. Design experience is key here, as well as strong API
>development experience.  Required Experience: 
>* BSCS or equivalent. 
>* 4-10 years experience in developing complicated applications for
>accessibility technology or OS X. 
>* A strong C, C++ and/or Objective C developer on Mac or Unix, but Windows
>is acceptable with the accessibility expertise.  * Strong design skills of
>applications. 
>* Strong debugging skills. 
>* Strong communication skills. 
>* Track record of innovation and excellence in earlier assignments.  
>Preferred Experience: 
>* Knowledge of accessibility requirements is a plus. 
>* Familiarity with the Cocoa and/or Project Builder.   Please email me at
>pburke at apple.com or apply online. Thanks!    
Braille is the solution to the digital divide.
