The technology is out there,, especially with UEFI, but there doesn't seem to be anybody skilled enough to implement it. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Scott Granados Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2016 8:56 AM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Possible encription methods for using on a PC/Laptop! That’s one of the nice things about the Mac, you get spoken feedback for the entire authentication process. You’d think they could do something similar on the windows side.

We use Becrypt Disk Protect to encrypt our Windows 7 laptops at work. I have to enter my username and password as soon as I switch on the laptop and there is no audible feedback. Under Windows 10 there is supposed to be an audio option which produces a number of beeps to let the user know which information is required (one beep for username, two for password I think), and another number of beeps if the login has been successful or not. When we move to Windows 10 I will be able to test whether this actually works.

Hi All,
Just wondered if there are any possible methods of encrypting a computer which could then be accessed by a blind person. This need arises for someone who is working in a law firm where computers are encrypted. Either pre or post boot stages. Any information on how this might work would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Paul.
