As part of my goals for the new year, including some I didn’t write publicly, I wanted to get more organized. I’ve had issues where I’ve got about three calendars, and nothing was ever on all of them. Some things were on my BrailleNote, some on my computer, some on my cell phone and some in my brain, never to be seen again. I started reading about services, and finally settled on one. I think I made the right decision from both a personal and an a ccessibility perspective. This is my review. It’s not intended to be comprehensive, it’s simply my perspective on the service. First, who is Sandy? Sandy is an email-based personal assistant. She is a computer, but uses natural, human language.
