It's just like your computer at home, you know? JAWS and I would imagine Window Eyes and software used by MAC users is not totally perfect, but we have to keep trying to make noise and get improvements made at the same time. We also have to be glad there is something out there. What I am waiting for now, is for Dish to come up with a solution for using my hopper and Joey remotes to access the screen, similar to what JAWS or MA use to help us navigate the screen. It does stink that we have to pay for MA and so much for JAWS, but what are we going to do?
I am so grateful to this list and hope it continues. The thing I find frustrating is that all the Mobile carriers seem to be ditching qwirty keyboards for touch screen. Yall that have the total touch screens amaze me. I wish I had your talents and could maneuver a touch screen. I'm kind of scared when it comes time to upgrade next March because I worry I will constantly tap the wrong thing on an Android Touch Screen or Iphone. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 1:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: ma_mailing Digest, Vol 284, Issue 16 Send ma_mailing mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://list.codefactory.cat/mailman/listinfo/codefactory.cat.ma_mailing or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ma_mailing digest..."

U may be right when u say at least cf is trying. However when u. Have google improve a screen reader that they aren't getting paid for verses a company who is not improving there's and they do get paid, it makes u wonder. In adition, how can a company improve if no one says anything complaining or not.
