Hi all - In my frustration at not being able to listen to a sports stream, I contacted Apple accessibilty, below is there reply. It doesn't quite add up, as they say Adobe hasn't made flash accessible to screen readers, and yet JAWS for one does pretty much ok these days with it. Non the less, perhaps if lots of us folowed their sugestion of contacting Adobe, this time it might make a difference? -
Andy Hello, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately there is an issue with the Flash component that makes it inaccessible to screen readers. Apple has reported this issue to Adobe over the years and in March of 2011 they announced plans to fix it, you can see their blog post in the link below: http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2010/03/flash_player_and_flex_support.html Unfortunately, Adobe has not made the appropriate changes to Flash that make it screen reader compatible. We would encourage the you to contact Adobe and request that they implement the changes that will make Flash content accessible.
