Dale Williams ? Gives Lecture On Pairing Food And Wine
 

Hear Dale ? give a 14 minute lecture on pairing of food and wine taken
from the FAQs he wrote on this subject at
http://www.cwdjr.info/wine/williams.php . :-) You will need a recent
Real Player to hear this. It should work on a good dialup connection.

Are you really Dale in disguise? Coining Dale's own vocabulary, should
we now accuse you of stealth marketing for him?

What does "cwdjrxyz" really mean, anyway? I think you missed out on a
few vowels...

Hint: The speaker might be a grandson of R2U2. That family is sneaky,
and all have a strange accent. It is rumored that some members of this
family have been seen sneaking around IBM in the US and the Opera in
Sweden. The speaker could be angry with Dale because Dale can have good
wine, and the speaker can have none, because it could cause him serious
problems if taken internally.

Hmm, I think I need to work on my pronunciation - I only listened to
first couple minutes, and I already blew Muscadet and Merlot.

And Cwdjrxyz, can C3PO inject a slight Southern accent to more
accurately reflect?

Seriously, this is pretty funny, but I'm personally old fashioned
enough to prefer to read my info. I have friends that love Gary V's
videos on Wine Library site, but I still prefer reading.

Dale, this is what you hear on the Opera browser when you select voice
playback with an added Opera extension on the browser. This likely is
very close to what the blind would hear when they use their special
equipment to have a web page spoken rather than read. I believe you can
also select a female voice and perhaps that of a child. I just recorded
the voice output from Opera to the Real Audio format and put it up to
demonstrate how voice output of a page works. I believe much of the
early work in this area was done at IBM. As you can hear, translation
of the written page to voice is not perfect and still sounds a bit
mechanical. However, for a blind person, this is a small price to pay
to be able to know what is on a web page. There likely are special
devices that will print(punch?) out Braille, but I have not
investigated this. Of course the ideal way is for an author or good
reader to make an audio recording of the text, and indeed there are
many talking books available for the blind. However, because of
bandwidth considerations, audio versions of web pages are not often
made.
