Well, Katherine. I might be the unlucky one here, so hopefully you or anyone else, will be able to tell what is going on.
OK, I did take a look at your website. The browser I used, is Firefox, latest version. I scrolled through the site that opened when I clicked the link at the bottom of your message. Among other things, it stated that you had a download site, where we would be presented with some downloads, that sounded interesting enough. Then it gave a link, saying "here". Well, I clicked on the link, and was rather disappointed. The very same site popped up again, telling me that I could clikc "here", to get to the interesting downloads. I thought something might have gone wrong, and tried it a few more times, but with the same result. I then decided to click the link, saying "site map". Here, I was presented a list of a few articles, of which I personally took no further interest. My hope though, was to fine the video you told that you had posted. Good enough, I am blind - but apparently a bit more than what I was aware of. Smile. Is your site designed to work better with another browser, or do I need to make any adjustments in my browser to get more fully access to the site. Well, I thought I would post it here, to see if others have had better luck. If what I experienced by my visit is what others do, I wonder if that could be the reason for the lack of response that you told us about. Thanks for any feedback, ----- Original Message ----- From: Katherine Moss To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 11:05 PM Subject: How best to get information to the world: Window-Eyes is included 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.
