    This is particularly close to me since I work with many ELL kids at my school. They are very overwhelmed with all the information in a language they don't know. It's hard for them to do tasks online in English that we do without thinking (such as scan a google search) since their grasp on the language is sometimes only so-so. This is a very fluid accessibility issue since their language skills will develop.

    In the interest of different media... This is a presentation done by google folk about ChromeVox which reads website content to you on Chrome. It seems similar to the software that the guy in the second video used except now more will have access to the feature. While this will benefit the visually impaired, ell students, audial processors, and those with reading challenges will also benefit. Very cool!
