Most screen readers are set up to read capital and lowercase punctuation with an indicator. Jaws also understands abbreviations. The iPhone as well also understands capital letters and abbreviations. For example in this recipe when it saw the lower t, it read it as tons. If it were a capital T it would have said capital. The only way this recipe makes sense, is if you account the first measurer as teaspoons. In which case, the total amount would be 5 tablespoons required. But then, why is it separated into 3 tablespoons and 2 tablespoons in the directions and 1 tablespoon and 4 tablespoons In the ingredients?

The tb and ts used by Meal Master for blind accessibility is preferable to trying to use capitalization differentiation, and they're also space saving and easy to figure out when used together. I also include a legend for Meal Master codes in all recipes I post here. > -----Original Message----- > From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Benjamin Olson > Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2013 9:21 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [CnD] bourbon pumpkin pecan pie > > Please make sure when you are writing recipes that you differentiate > between tablespoon (which is Tbsp, or capital T) and teaspoon (which is > tsp, or lowercase t).
