A graphical interface is one that is not 100% text and command-entering based. This means that, as I said, depending on how one defines what is and is not a command, a bios is graphical. The reason for this is that one rarely enters text into a bios. Bios is essentially a menu system, and you use the arrows and enter (with a couple other keys) to navigate and work within it. This is not a console application, as you do not enter text to have the bios do things; you navigate a graphically displayed menu. I'm not sure where you got the bit about screen readers from; I was commenting on Josh's post that almost everything was gui based lately, not whether or not said guis were accessible with a screen reader.

Wrong the BIOS is not graphical enough that a screen reader can not see it. The problem is there is no screen reader support at that phase to read it. A graphic interface is one of all pictures and text within those pictures. Screen readers have a hard time reading them unless alt tags have there text included. All versions of windows have graphical interfaces and screen readers have no problem with them as long as you have screen reader support and sound.

By some logic, a bios is a graphical interface. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Josh Kennedy" <joshknnd1...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 7:20 AM To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] previous topic of interactive fictions which Istarted. even recovery and reformat disks have graphical interfaces. even the most popular linux first boots into a graphical interface unless you get vinux CLI or grml console only linux. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
