Our next phone meeting is scheduled for Friday, January 30 from 
8:00-10:00 PM Eastern time. People outside of Philadelphia are also welcome.
There are many topics which we could discuss. Possibilities include

1. The release of the Be my Eyes app for iOS, allowing blind users to 
connect with over 90,000 sighted volunteers to receive free assistance. 
Have you tried the app? Do you like it?

2. On January 21, Microsoft hosted a major press event which they called 
Windows 10: the Next Chapter. You can read more about the announcements 
and watch an archive of the webcast from the above link. Among other 
things, they provided more information about Windows 10, including that 
it will contain the Cortana voice assistant and that the OS will be free 
during the first year of its release for users of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1.

3. AI Squared released version 9 of Window-Eyes which includes, among 
other things, beefed-up Web support, improved table navigation, support 
for Quickbooks, better support for Microsoft Web apps, support for 
Google Docs, Google Charts and Google slides and even includes 
preliminary support for Windows 10!! If you're a Window-Eyes user, have 
you upgraded to version 9? Do you like it?

4. The developer of Voice Dream Reader introduced a new, speech-friendly 
notetaking app for iOS called, appropriately, Voice Dream Writer, 
costing $9.99. Have you purchased this app?
