Hi Jim, Here is my experience with the referenced site: Win 7 64-bit and Jaws 13 Using IE 10, nothing is visible to Jaws under step 2 - select your provider and the checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible. Firefox 24.3.0: Radio buttons to select a provider are accessible, but the descriptions of the providers are not visible. The checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are accessible. NVDA 2013.3: Using IE 10, nothing is visible to NVDA under step 2 - select your provider, although there are multiple unreadable lines in this section. The checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible. Firefox 24.3.0: nothing is visible to NVDA under step 2 - select your provider. The checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible. And on my iPad 4 running iOS 6.1.3: Using Safari: nothing is visible to Voiceover under step 2 - select your provider. The checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible. So, the problem is not limited to Jaws, but is more a function of how the site is coded. This site would be a good case study for the developers of screen readers to dissect and determine why this site does not work properly with a screen reader and then try to accommodate such issues on other sites. I realize that there are an infinite number of ways to code a web page, so it will be impossible to accommodate all coding techniques. But it is very interesting to see how the different browsers and screen readers interact with various web pages.
