i totally agree. From: David via Talk Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 12:56 AM To: Chip Orange ; Window-Eyes Discussion List ; 'Jeremy Curry' Subject: Re: Red Hot News from Ai Squared!
Only thing I don't get, is why you would like to put any kind of teaser out like this. Seems your screen reader needs more attention, and things need a brush. Then to flush the market with a ton of teasers, "look what we may bring soon", "Just wait till next year", and so forth, seems no less than frustrating. besides, If this was meant to be a non-textual teaser, with only some kind of iconic or even grapical appearance, why post it to a list that mainly is trafficated by more or less blind people. Instead of teasing, all you accomplished was to frustrate. Honestly, that is no beneficial business approach. I do second the request, that you please keep this list freed from any more of such stuff. We have enough complaints about people posting Off-Topic matters here, let alone that we now have to deal with even the list-managers themselves putting out mails that are nothing but useless. You know, that is actually another version of what in the computer world is named SPAM. Unwanted, non-requested and often useless emails that float into your mailbox. If the owners of this list find there is a bit too little traffic on the list, why not put out something readable, informative, and REAL. Stop all that "Stay tuned and we may happen to show you what we can do" stuff. Get back to your customers, when you have things ready, and when you are willing to share it in a manner that your customers actually know to read. You, AISquared if any, should know what your screen reader can perform. You would have absolutely no excuse for throwing out mails like this, then telling the market "oh, sorry, we did not make it accessible". Please, abstain from any more of this stuff. Among others, I did let the synth chatter away, for a minute or two, trying to figure what it all was about. I immediately recognized it as html-code, but sometimes you can figure a thing or two, from the few pieces of text in between the code. This time, a clear waiste of time, and afterwards, a long line of complaints. And when you come back with further info on the matter, I really still am scratching my hair off, to figure what it all was about, or meant to say. Your explanation, Jeremy, simply gave NO meaning whatsoever. What was the whole message trying to convey? That you had too much leasure time at work, or is it possible we are to take this teaser seriously, and hope for an anouncement in the near future about some exciting news from the screen reader front? If the latter, why did you not just tell us so, in plain readable text? even when you were to explain the flaw? Just wondering. Time to get back to what this list - the way I understand it - is purposed for. Anyone else have some meaningful questions on how to operate the screen reader?
