Hello all, To some this might be considered off topic, but to others, maybe not. I'm sure that you have seen my web site that is listed in my signature? If not, I'd recommend checking it out. But all that aside, I'm really curious what the best way to get information about accessibility or lack thereof as it pertains to both the blind and the sighted that work with them, on the internet in a way that people will actually listen? For instance, I have a couple of blog posts that compare JAWS and Window-Eyes; what works best in both, and where one excels over the other and such. I can see that as a very popular topic, but no comments have been posted to it thus far. Does that mean that I did a horrible job conveying the information? And then, I posted a video in plain, public, view on youtube demonstrating the poor quality that screen readers exhibit with the more important enterprise-based software using Team Foundation server 11 from Microsoft as an example. My point on that video is that the enterprise sector needs to be made accessible too or else blind people will be barred from tech jobs, which can be horrible one, if they are passionate about it like I am, or Two, if the facility at which they work's infrastructure moves to the cloud where evidently screen readers either aren't allowed, or GW Micro is really behind. That video was targeted directly at the sighted population, yet it bears no comments? Obviously I'm doing something wrong in the utmost in trying to succeed at my mission, or this shows just how little people care. Any suggestions on how I can drive the sighted population to this kind of stuff so that they can understand us and what we deal with every day when it comes to company discrimination on what software to make accessible? And my hope for this discussion, though it doesn't directly pertain to Window-Eyes, is that we can all come up with some suggestions so that more accessibility information targeted at the sighted learning about the blind will get out there. Thanks for any feedback.
