Hello:
I can't speak to Google. Microsoft has actually done a lot in terms of
accessibility, there was MSAA and now UIAA I think it is called, which
Jaws works with quite extensively. Microsoft's approach is slightly
different in that they provide the tools for a screen reader to bolt on
to windows. I think they actually wanted to build something in at one
point and the NFB had a hand in insuring that Jaws was the main reader
for many many years.

Hello.
I have just been listening to a presentation on the WWC app (you know, the one
that you can download from the App Store) where you can listen to apple's
keynote etc. Well, on there, there is a presentation done by an apple
representative and this person shows developers how to make apps accessible to
Voice Over users and other users who have special needs. This presentation was
very interesting as the person used the new apple's UI tool kit to make an app
accessible for all special needs. So, there is no need for specialist
organisations to worry about Apple's commitment to accessibility as Apple have
given developers the tools to make apps accessible. Perhaps this should be
pointed out to organisations who attack Apple as I can't see Google or
Microsoft doing this. Or do they?
