I am not experiencing any problems with Google as things stand today. Also, Google itself is not too bad with respect to being accessible. Using the browse mode navigation keys in Window-Eyes makes Google very useable without having to go to an alternative web page. For example, type in your search terms, here I recommend suggest going largest to smallest (EG: Manitoba university rhetoric), press the enter key and when the page is finished loading press the letter H twice to get to the search results. Hey you can even press the number 2 followed by the letter H. The results are at the beginning of the first level 2 heading. Using the Google main page then has us using the same search facility as everyone else who prefers Google for their search engine. My bias is I am a proponent of using the applications as closely to those who do not use text to speech technologies. For instance, I am bothered with a recent review of a beta that I read. It includes a simplified version of the Office ribbon. Working in a support environment where my team is expected to provide assistance to people who are not using text to speech technologies a solution that has me using the software in a significantly different manner is not acceptable. Of course I also have issues with having to write an interface that joins two adaptive technologies together such as text two speech and speech recognition; but I digress. Just an opinion from a minion. Vic ________________________________

When you type a term or terms in go up and down with the arrows and you will find suggestions. YOu can type different words or letters and hear what comes up. Try tv as an example. you need to have browse mode turned off just as you would for any search. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
