Hi.
a blind website designer, using the jaws for windows screen reader from
freedom scientific.
based in ST Petersburg, Florida.
and go to http://www.freedomscientific.com
well, one of their options they have is you can listen to a pod cast called
fs cast, and hosted by Jonathon Mosen, who is in New Zealand, and he has a
guest on talking about inovations at freedom scientific
and january's fs cas, and you can download the pod cast, he was talking to
the Cheif Technology Officer, glen Gordan, about web 2.0, and Assistive Rich
Internet Applications (aria)
and how web authors can enable their websites to put in the w3c (world wide
consortium) guidelines for web 2.0,a nd implement the aria roll documents
and the roll state elements, and using the virtual cursur.
he demonstrated a few sites, with the jaws, 10.
this is the latest version, and demonstrated firefox 3.04, mozilla chat.
and works really great.
and for aria websites, you turn the virtual cursur feature off.
and the other important element, is keyboard accessibility.
so thought would let everyone know about this breakthrough in technology for
the blind and me, like looking to develop a chat application for my star
trek site, so will be looking to use these guidelines and technologies.
and for web standard guidelines the w3c has produced documentation for aria
to work with screen readers.
cheers Marvin.
