First apologies to those who will see a similar message from me on the PC-Audio list, but posting here with a Window-Eyes slant.
I work with someone producing a talking newspaper and we are up against - what to me - is an arrogant attitude towards vi users that they must have Quicktime or nothing. To my knowledge QT has never been accessible in the sense of moving around in it or adjusting the volume of playback from the player, etc. Before I vent my anger unreservedly - and I do feel QT is a load of Pants - are there in fact scripts making it more usable? Is there accessability hidden away that I don'tknow about? The assertion on the part of the ignoramous who declines to accomodate our needs is that screen readers aught to work with it. Well, is that in fact possible? Or is it Entirely Apples fault? Would it, in theory, be possible for a Window-Eyes scripter to give us the same navigation etc as mouse users enjoy? Does anyone know if Apple users fair better using it with Voice Over? (I know there are Mac users here.) NO, I'm not by any means anti-Apple, but this - to me - abysmal software is an insult to VI users on a site designed surely with them as the main user group. I'd be interested to hear from anyone knowledgable on this and who knows more than I do. Ray. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
