Google and accessibility

Google's search engine offers some great services that, not only help folks browse the web, but also assist those with disabilities. For example,

the calendar provides a speech-friendly interface
the GMail email service offers a simple html interface that works well with many screen readers
the sign-in captcha service provides an audio alternative
