[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

smith kettlewell has developed "talking sign" technology but
unfortunately, it hasn't caught on.  this works as follows- you
install a computer chip in a building sign, door (room #) etc and
the blind person carries a little receiver like a tiny transistor
radio and the chips speak the room #, address, restaurant name
etc.  it would be nice if all federal buildings required this
technology and thus, this would pave the way for widespread
exceptance... dan, out of sight, out of my mind!
