Re: a proposal, jaws lite shareware by freedom scientific
hi,
completely agree with jellman
afrim, do you have any idea how much money disabled people who live in developing countries earn?
I live in turkey, and 90% of blind people are unemployed apparently
the ones that are employed, are employed mainly because of the reserved quota for disabled individuals in government jobs
so mostly they are teachers
with that salerry, you can only have enough to cover your basic needs asuming of course, that you are single
how can someone like this be expected to shell out thousands of dollars just to be near equal to a sighted person access wise?
why should I even have to pay a penny more than a sighted person would to have equal access to my computer?
the solution to this is as follows
1. the UN or EU should adopt a law that states, that all webpages and software packages be accessible to blind people without exception
failure to comply with this should result in fines and termination
of said company
or revokation of lisence to sell that software package
2. operating system companies (mainly microsoft, should be forced to develop there own screen reader and make every single function and procedure in windows accessible
I think this would solve the accessibility problem
