Hello Shanya Almafeta , I am writing to you today as a blind user of Window Eyes 9.1 and JAWS Version 16 requesting that if you could to build accessibility into your products and services for people that can't see, so everyone can use your software and to be able to weep the benefits it provides to us!
Thank you so much for your consultation in contacting us wanting to make your software work for us and well done for taking the first step! I look forward to using your products soon! Brendon Donohue. Hey folks, I apologize for the cross-post, but this is one of those messages that should be widely distributed. I'm sending this message to the Window-Eyes support list and the NFB computer science list. Please feel free to forward as you see fit. I have been in contact with Spider Oak, a secure backup service regarding the accessibility of their client software. Spider Oak is like Dropbox in a lot of ways, but because of the way it works placing your stuff on Spider Oak does not give them access to your data. They call it "0-knowledge." You can read more about the concept on their web site if interested. A representative of the company told me that they are actually looking at making the client accessible. (At the moment, it isn't) One of the things they asked me to do is to contact any blind users who may be interested in using the service. They wanted me to have blind users contact them requesting accessibility support, and naming the screen reader they're using. I invite all of you to take them up on that request. Even if you don't think you would be interested in the service, it's always good to have things be accessible for those of us who choose to use them. I personally would love to have a remote synchronization service which allows me to control the encryption keys used on my data so that no one but me can recover that data. Anyone interested in contacting Spider Oak about this should send email to Shanya Almafeta. Shanya told me to have you send email to [email protected], taking care to mention that the message is for Shanya. Here's to hoping she gets positively bombarded with requests, as that's what she wants. Joseph C.
