Okay just, like right off the cuff here. But why does Vispero, a company making blindness software/hardware want videos for there Big Thing thing? Why not just text? Emails? Like, what? Why? Meh, whatever. I'll submit mine I guess. I'm sure some of you know what I'm gonna suggest. Feel free to submit your own ideas, goodness knows we need more grand ideas for screen readers.

Exactly, I asked this question last year. First, why only three countries or so are privileged, and second, why videos? It's infuriating, why should we then ask for respect from other companies if even a blind-specific company requires bloody videos? totally incomprehensible.

@DavidGoldfield What happened to the idea being the most important thing? Would they not be able to figure out what to do for the presentation if the application is accepted?

@Rbender99 I would have preferred for them to have allowed audio presentations. I'm not certain what the reasoning is behind the format requirements.
