Actually, It was binary not text. I ran it through a binary editor, and had it try to extract any text it could find out of it and it found some text which said, we really don't care about all the problems with our screen reader at this point were way over are heads and there may never even be another Window-eyes version.

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?

Thanks for the response Jeremy.


However, even if I had seen the alt text, I would not have understood 
that there was no text to be had in the message, so it would not have 
stopped me from spending that frustrating couple of minutes looking 
for it.


I am one who hopes there are no more "teasers" like this.

Hi,


You should have seen Red Hot News from Ai Squared followed by an alt 
tag for an image of a red wig.  We put in the alternative text, so my 
only guess is that your email client stripped it out.


It is a teaser campaign for something coming soon.

Stay tuned!

Jeremy

I don't think it says anything (my gues is that this is on purpose)  
... I wrote them and told them if so, and if I had this right, then I 
didn't appreciate spending so much time trying to figure out that it 
said nothing.  It was frustrating as well as time consuming.

Well, I wonder what it could be. A new version of Window Eyes, A new 
version of ZoomText, a combined version of WE and ZT, I guess we'll 
just have to wait to see!
