Re: Question for those trying to access the latest Audible sale on your iPhone

2018-05-21 Thread Robert Carter 
Hi,

I got this email also. I was able to add the two books from my wish list to the 
sale screen. At the bottom of the sale screen is a bar that shows that the 
books have been added. Apparently there is an arrow to the right of the bar 
that one has to click on before the system will advance to the proceed to 
checkout button. This arrow is not visible by VoiceOver on the Mac.

I called Audible tech support and they remotely connected to my Mac and clicked 
the arrow. I was then able to proceed with the checkout.

I asked the tech support person to report this lack of accessibility to the 
Audible web developer.

Thanks, Kathy. Now that I know it isn’t just me, yes, I will call and complain 
tomorrow. I might also employ cited help in the meantime to get to that view 
all books page and then bookmark that temporarily. What an annoyance. They’ve 
never done that before. I have bought lots of things on sales with these two 
for one deal, and this is the first time I’ve seen this.

Hi Mary 
I just tried to access the site by clicking on the general link to view all 
books for members.  When I reached the page after signing in, I got exactly 
what you described.  Like it is flashing a sign and it kept reading how many 
hours left in the sale.  I was able to scroll down a page and swiped to see 
what would be read to me and it would read a line and then cut off with that 
flashing announcement or whatever you want to call it.  While swiping however I 
did hear "view all books" and I quickly tapped on it before it would read the 
flashing announcement again.  It took me to the list of books on sale and the 
flashing announcement disappeared..thank god.  That truly is annoying.  All 
I can suggest to you is to do as I did.  Once you get to the page where it has 
the flashing announcement, swipe until you hear view all books being read.  I 
scrolled down using the three finger up gesture to get to the next page and 
then began swiping.  As soon as you hear the word, view, double tap.  You will 
be tapping on that link regardless of what is being read by voice over.  That 
is if you are quick enough.  Next step, call and complain.  Lol 
Good luck.

Hi Kathy,
When you say it took you to the summary of the book listing, do you mean it 
took you to the page that describes the book that was in your wish list? That 
is not what I’m looking for. I have one of those links to, because a book in my

Hi 
I received an email today too from Audible informing me that one of my books in 
my Wish List was on sale.  There was a link following the title of the book and 
I tapped on that and it took me directly to the summary of the book listing.  I 
had no issues accessing the sale in this way.  I do not know if you would have 
received a message of the same kind i.e. informing you of a book in your Wish 
List being on sale.  But, if there are any recommended books, try tapping on 
one of the book links and then go from there.

I got an email today advertising an audible sale which is good through the 
24th, two books for one credit. I have access these before on my phone. But 
when I double tapped on the provided link, Safari open, and I kept getting a 
repeated message about the sale. It is as though there is some kind of flashing 
something or other at the top of the page which is continually capturing 
voiceovers attention, making it impossible to navigate and understand what is
