Software Update Makes iTunes Accessible To Blind Users

rickthewizkid writes "Recent updates to the iTunes software allow blind users to access the program without assistance. From the article: 'The new software — which transforms the written information on an iTunes-linked computer screen into speech or Braille — stemmed from an agreement between Apple, the Cupertino, Calif.-based computer company, the National Federation of the Blind and Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley.'" It's not just the actual iTunes app, though; the article notes that this update makes iTunes U useable as well.

What about deaf users?

I think if they could bring Itunes for the Deaf, that would be rad! (Waving my hands in mime excitement)

Would be way more impressive...

If this update made it accessible to the deaf.
