Movies

A quick way to find out where a movie is available->

Submitted by

DeionXxX writes "We recently launched a new web and mobile call called CanIStream.It to easily search across various site to figure out if and where a movie is available for streaming/rental/purchase instantly. If a movie is not available, you can set a reminder and the site will email you when the movie is available.

We built the site and the app for the community, and we've been listening and adding more services and features. We're not trying to do everything and build a huge service, just a small tool to search quickly for a movie to watch."

Using the Internet with Learning Disabilities

Alex Petrescu writes "I have been tasked by a Non-Profit Organization to figure out if we have the technology available to build a website that would serve as a community / learning tool for young adults (14-30) with learning disabilities / mental impairment / mental retardation. As part of my research, I'd like to ask the Slashdot community to share their experiences with friends or family with mental retardation in respects to using the internet. We have resources at the organization that have done various studies into this topic however I think that the Slashdot community can provide great insight into this problem.

So here are my questions:
  • How do they interface with the computer?
  • What are some of the problems you've encountered?
  • What can suggestions can you provide to improve the user's experience?
  • What barriers have you found to finding a resources or websites that the user could use?


Things we are looking into:

  • Text-To-Speech
  • Interactive video
  • Audio Cues for all actions
  • Video / Audio based Forum
  • Limited vocabulary for the website


Thank you for any insights you can provide."
