but if you don't have a screen reader, how do you get to it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet and Felix *" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2008 12:04 PM Subject: RE: Web Anywhere Screenreader
The idea behind it is that you could use anyone's computer, or a public computer like at the library or college. It's assuming you don't have your own computer with you. Supposedly all you have to do it to go to their website, and then you can access other websites from there, and the screen reader will read it. Felix and I played with it. It worked okay on Mac, except I don't know which key corresponds to the "home" key. I put in an address for another website in the text box and it took me there, I tried My Space, but I couldn't get it to read anything. Not sure why. Cus it went there, and kept the field where I typed the address still on the page, as though I was accessing My Space through their page. So I need to play with it more I guess. Or maybe My Space needs to already have a copy on their sever before it can work? Not sure.
