Hello, guys, I use an interface with my university called eCollege. Last quarter their text edit area for making posts was accessible enough. This quarter, however, it doesn't work at all. VoiceOver calls it a "Rich text editor with RadeEntryText," and I'm not sure what that means. Searching online reveals that people over at Applevis have experienced some similar issues, apparently, accessing those posting features for that site when the rich text editor was used. the eCollege folks tell me that there is no way to simplify the interface and that the visual editor has to be used. What really sucks is that it works with JAWS on the Windows side of things, no problem. Over all, VoiceOver works much more smoothly with eCollege because it has several frames and I love the way Voiceover lets me choose whether or not I want to read the content of a frame by interacting with it, instead of me having to go into a special frames mode.
All in all, I wondered if anyone had come up with a solution to this issue? According to the tech support folks, it isn't even possible for the instructor of the course to change the interface, and since it is perfectly accessible with JAWS, they're less likely to see it as an issue that needs immediate reworking. I am able to paste into the edit area, but I cannot read back any of what I have typed, except for back spacing. If I have a numbered list of items with explanations, the editor thinks I want to start numbering each line, and the only way I fixed it was to go into the Windows side, use JAWS, and edit it out. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks, Harry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
