Doc, the query resolves to "was the tag tree conceived and designed with navigation by the blind in mind" or is it tag soup ~:" leaving all the work to the UA.
something like the old html mess we got in before xhtml, but very different. cheers Jonathan Chetwynd On 7 Feb 2007, at 17:03, Doc wrote: Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: > Andreas, > > how are you proposing that blind people will select text to be read? > > regards > > Jonathan Chetwynd Hello Andreas. People call me "Doc". Having written screen reading software for the blind, I figured I'd throw in my two cents. SVG unlike pngs , gifs, jpegs and other raster images is composed of tags like HTML. Screen readers ( like JAWS ) can if coded to do so , traverse the tag tree in an SVG image the same as they would elements in a web page. So any text in an SVG image is still represented as text somewhere in the drawing as opposed to raster images where the text is represented as a bunch of dots that could just as easily be a picture of a puppy dog Also while maybe not as valuable to the blind , each piece of the image is represented as text commands describing every circle line , text and other element of the drawing. ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
