Why not go to bar code readers for all of this stuff? Way less
ambiguity involved and bar code readers are available for iphone and
android in terms of downloadable apps.

Subject: HAL, UDEV are opportunity for visually impaired future employees
Dear users and developers,
Once up one time, Debian Squeeze and Espeakup would be used as device
autodetector. When visually impaired user has connected USB compatible
device, if device have been compatible with Linux kernel, with UDEV, Espeakup
have informed user about exact device type, its name.
My plea is as follows.
Does somebody know about GTK compatible app, which is able to connect
information when new USB device have been connected to The system? So
visually impaired users would help inside E-schops, where it is necessary to
pack devices. Because they would be able to know device name, Believe me,
that photo recognition services of objects will not be too fast and will not
be free of charge on future. And USB port and kernel algorithms are very
reliable.
It would be very interesting to find out, if ANdroid APIS can also provide
such information, because phones with Android would become a handy device
detection tool. Especially if USB HUB will be also used to minimize micro USB
connectors deterioration.
Who of you knows about GTK app, which is able to automatically display if new
USB device have been connected?
If Espeakup have been able to monitor kernel message, how complex would be to
fetch those messsages from Python? Because not every app must be written in C
or C+. It would be even possible to automatically store device information to
.txt file in plain Ascii format, every device on separate line.
Please try to think about my idea.
