Hi Steve, The only one I could put forward an answer for is screen readers. It would, depending on what you make, probably be more difficult. However, if this is web based, then that's probably the easier avenue of voicing.

Hi list. I have a few questions regarding the realistic possibilities of incorporating accessibility within a graphical game...and I'm hoping some list members would be able to offer their advice. I have a sighted programmer friend who has taken an interest in how I would go about playing a game...and we got onto the subject of how accessibility could be built into a visual game. Anyway, if anyone could answer some basic questions below, I'd really appreciate it, as this would firstly clear up "non possible" avenues and secondly, give us the possible avenues to play with. At this point, can I just say, if it is possible to do this, a very simple graphical game would be on the table for an experiment, probably self voicing and web-based, but could be client based. 1. What is the best combination for accessibility within a visual environment. E.g, Java (graphics) and self-voicing? Flash (graphics) and self-voicing? Java (graphics) and a client TTS based program? etc... 2. Would 1 approach be more difficult than another? E.g, screenreader over self-voicing? 3. Are there any examples of such a graphical game which offer a good gaming experience to both the blind and sighted, which incorporate audio accessibility? Hopefully you understand what I'm asking. In a nutshell, the blind have no need for graphics and the sighted need graphics, so I'm guessing there hasn't been a great need to marry the two...but is it possible and what road would we go down to make it possible. Many thanks, have a great day, cheers Steve.
