Could the difference between accessibility on a I phone or I Pad and a
Mac book be that the phones and I pads are running the mobile versions
of a web site or ap and the Mac book isn't? I have been considering
purchasing a I Pad but just don't know which one to buy and wether it is
really a solution to avoid having to move to JAWS. I have been using
NVDA and it works fairly well but too has its shortcomings on some web
pages.

Tony,
I share some of your frustrations. I had to use JAWS more during the past
year to do certain things on my job, and I was surprised at all of what I
feel are bugs in JAWS. It always seemed to me that many JAWS users felt
that Window-Eyes had a monopoly on bugs. On my job, both JAWS and
Window-Eyes worked on some older software that I used while NVDA did not
work with it. While I like my iPhone, I have found myself frustrated
there with bugs as well. The pace of change in technology, particularly
web site development, is really putting a squeeze on our access on all
platforms in my opinion. I know of people who have switched to the MAC
and would never switch back, but I also know of a few who have switched
back. Also, some of your examples are partly due to inconsistent or poor
web browser support. People I have talked to who work on accessibility
have told me that if a web page is at all complicated, it needs to be
tested with all combinations of screen readers and web browsers to know if
the page will work. There is often even browser-specific code in web
sites even without accessibility. It is very possible, for example, that
Netflix is running different code when you access the very same page with
a MAC as you access with a Windows browser. This makes it very hard to
determine where problems exist.
I hope that your switch to Apple works well for you.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Subject: Windows screen readers
Hello, Before I say anything, let me first say that I was a Jaws user for
several years before switching to Window Eyes back in 2004, and I’ve been
a faitful WE user ever since. Why is it that everytime someone can’t use a
certain website or something like I tunes or Netflix the first thing is
they need to fix their website. Why is it that II a person can go to
Netflix on an IOS device and using Voice Over can use netflix with no
problem. Now we are talking about a free built in screen reader as opposed
to an $895 and $1195 third party screen readers? I can’t use Netflix on my
PC because both Jaws and Window eyes people have told me it isn’t
accessible. However I can go to Netflix using my I phone or my I Pad Mini
and use netflix with the free screen reader? I mean I don’t get it,
support at both Jaws and WE have said it isn’t accessible and they can’t
make their screenreaders work with it, but IOS does???
