Got a quick question...
If JAWS is the program that makes applications more accessible, why
would it be Apple's responsibility to make it work better with JAWS?
This has never been done before for any other application. Why is
Apple being singled out. Does no one find it curious that Window-Eyes
got an accessibility nod in the new iTunes? Wonder if there is any
old blood here?
Oh Wait... that's right Freedom Scientific bought out a lot of
smaller accessibility companies in the late 80's and early 90's and
terminated Apple OS work one by one... Hmmmm.... They have also been
the guys in the back of the room at a lot of Apple presentations
sniping there presenters.... Why I think they have even been saying
for about 15 years openly and publicly that Apple doesn't care about
the visually impaired!
I'm new to the game in the last 5-6 years, but I don't see Apple
bending over in any way to help Freedom Scientific out.... I also
don't see JAWS adding tags and accessibility to iTunes, but gee-wiz
they sure do for windows media player!
Much Love,
And even more progress for Apple Accessibility!
