It's possible they're reading the source of the image (CLOSED
27282014.jpg) since the ALT attribute is blank. You can get this
information from the Window-Eyes Element Properties dialog (Insert-E)
when you have the "Speak graphics with no alternative text" verbosity
option enabled. The ideal solution would be for them to put the text of
the image in the alt attribute since they're updating the image anyway.

I don't know. I just tried using NVDA and saw nothing. But I'm a few
versions behind with NVDA because I never use it. Did they add an OCR
tool?

Subject: Re: please explain why window-eyes will not read this website.
is it because of flash?
It's because the banner is an image with no alternative text. The alt
tag is there but it's empty, i.e. alt="". That's all they have to
change to make it visible to a screen-reader.

Dear List:
At the following website
http://www.waukesha.k12.wi.us/
it is supposed to show that the schools are closed. When I called
the school, the secretary saidthat at the top of the page was a
banner with a picture; when there is bad weather, the picture is
replaced with a block of words describing that the schools are
closed. In this case, schools are closed today and tomorrow. Is it
because it is some kind of flash that window-eyes does not read
it? If the words are not moving, shouldn't window-eyes be
able to read it? Thanks for any clarification. Regards:
Ted Larson
