+# Multi-dimensional information processing with Emacs and Emacspeak: a blind man's perspective
+Arkadiusz - https://swietnicki.dev

+
+Emacs is a tool that is extremely suitable to be operated by a fully
+blind person. In this talk I would like to demonstrate one of its
+strongest features, which is audio font locking. Using this mechanism
+the user can get information in two dimensions, that is: "Information
+snippet" as well as its metadata, carried by the font. In this talk, I
+would like to briefly compare how blind people retrieve information
+versus how the sighted do it, then briefly compare Emacs to other
+traditional tools. At the end I am going to showcase a couple of
+practical points: messages management with Telega, file navigation with
+Dired and retrieving contact data with BBDB, all while using only speech
+and sounds.
