Screen Reader Basics
Screen readers are used by visually impaired users to interact with the computer. The screen reader speaks the information on the screen and provides many options and mechanisms for navigating the content.
Doug Geoffray, founder of GW Micro the maker of the Window-Eyes screen reader, recently spoke at Yahoo about screen readers. The hour long talk is split into two videos. It gives a brief history and an overview of how screen readers work, some of the problems screen readers need to work around and how to build more accessible products.
The second video demos a Web tree view built using the same Accessible Rich Internet Application (ARIA) techniques that are being incorporated into the Dojo Core Widget set.

Dojo meetups...
That should be a good turnout in San Fran! I live in NJ so unfortunately I won't be able to make it, but it should be awesome! I would love to maybe come to a future event if there is ever going to be one here on teh East Coast. New York, NJ, even PA would be doable for me!
