Hello all, i am emailing today as i play an online soccer manager game. the address is.
www.soccermanager.com it is based on real life teams and players. How ever there is one part of the sight that is not accessible to us as blind users this is the news paper where you can write news articles and press statements as if you are a real manager. below is the following email i've written to the developers of the game. The news paper is only accessible if you see it on your club news feed and someone has already written an article in there. I am trying to get it to be made accessible with a screen reader so we can click on it anytime we wish. I'm sending this email to the gamers list and will keep you all updated on any progress to this game. if anyone is interested in playing please also send an email vowing for this to be done you'll find a contact link on the web sight. also if anyone is interested in playing and does not know much about soccer i'd be happy to mentor them threw choosing there first club and helping them understand the rules of soccer. The game is very accessible with any screen reader apart from this one thing i'm writing to the developers about. thanks very much see email below. Ian McNamara Hello, my name is Ian McNamara. I love playing your game and spend quite a lot of time every day logging in and checking my teams. The reason i am writing to you is about one of the features on the game, i'm a totally blind player of the game and there is one thing that people who are blind can't access which is the news paper in our world. The only way a blind person like my self can access it is if someone clicks on it for us or if someone has written an article in our news paper and we see it in our news feed, however if no one writes an article in the news paper there is no way of a blind person accessing the link to it. I was wondering, is there anyway a link could be created on our club pages where the links for squad and tactics are and the other stuff to do with the club? the reason i ask this is because it would allow us to communicate with managers in the paper and do press statements. As i said earlier the only way i can get to it is if someone has already written in there and i get to it on my game world news feed. I'd be very grateful if this could be done and i'm sure other blind users would be to. thanks very much for reading.
