I didn't hear of anyone sighted using safari when it was available for windows.

Especially when chrome, and firefox were available and worked.

Ah, true, I should have said that I didn't hear of many blind users using 
Safari when it was available for Windows.

You don't hear of blind people or others for that matter running Safari on 
their PC because Safari does not exist for Windows users.
Apart from that there is ltittle use in speculating until this is available and 
we can all try it.

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think of Apple as having all that 
great a reputation of making simple, easy to use and accessible applications on 
other platforms. I still hear people complaining about iTunes on Windows. Last 
I knew, iCloud on the PC also wasn't the most accessible application either. I 
don't hear of many blind people running Safari on their PC's. Sorry, but I'm

Any more,

Safari for windows did exist about 10 or so years back,

I don't believe it really took off,

Unlike internet explorer for the mac which was the browser to use back in the 
day.

2021-06-11 Thread Christopher Chaltain 
Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think of Apple as having all that 
great a reputation of making simple, easy to use and accessible applications on 
other platforms. I still hear people complaining about iTunes on Windows. Last 
I knew, iCloud on the PC also wasn't the most accessible application either. I 
don't hear of many blind people running Safari on their PC's. Sorry, but I'm 
still skeptical! 

Re: FaceTime on Android and Windows

2021-06-10 Thread Richard Turner 
Joshua,
Do you have an extra crystal ball I could borrow? You seem to know something 
works easier before its competition has even been released.
I know people who have torn their hair out over trying to share a video over 
Zoom.
Time will tell if Apple's share play works any better, but that cannot be known 
until it is released.

I just realized there was a somewhat significant announcement on Monday at
WWDC that I have not seen any comments about.

Here is one little snippet from the web about it.

Apple is also adding the ability to share links to FaceTime calls, putting
the company in a better position to compete with the likes of Zoom. FaceTime
Links will allow for users across both the iOS and Android ecosystems to
join the same call. Windows and Mac users can also jump into calls through
their desktops.

Apple's FaceTime updates will be introduced with the release of iOS 15.
We'll have more to say about iOS 15, as well as the other announcements from
WWDC

RE: FaceTime on Android and Windows

2021-06-10 Thread Richard Turner 
Well, we have only heard that it is a planned feature; no info about 
implementation, accessibility, or anything; so being skeptical makes perfect 
sense.
I'm sure once public beta testing begins, there will be more details around on 
the web concerning this.

Just the fact that Apple is looking at a way to provide access to non-Apple 
devices to FaceTime calls is worth taking note of.

If this works well, it could replace Skype and Zoom and a few other things if

Subject: RE: FaceTime on Android and Windows

I'm not sure how much this will open up the video conferencing world since 
there are already so many options to choose from. Also, as a blind person, I 
find using an application is generally preferable over using the web interface, 
so I'm a bit skeptical of joining a Facetime video conference through my 
browser on Windows or Android.

I just realized there was a somewhat significant announcement on Monday at WWDC 
that I have not seen any comments about.

Here is one little snippet from the web about it.

Apple is also adding the ability to share links to FaceTime calls, putting the 
company in a better position to compete with the likes of Zoom. FaceTime Links 
will allow for users across both the iOS and Android ecosystems to join the 
same call. Windows and Mac users can also jump into calls through their 
desktops.

Apple's FaceTime updates will be introduced with the release of iOS 15. We'll 
have more to say about iOS 15, as well as the other announcements from WWDC 
2021<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shacknews.com%2Ftopic%2Fwwdc-2021%2F=04%7C01%7C%7Cad26146708e6411260fb08d92c03189b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C637589214074930350%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000=UKdUGAwl6c0HvSLVy%2BuhSaYwwJ5fPvubb3kYkH6n38s%3D=0>,
