One of our HyperRESEARCH (a Rev-based tool for qualitative analysis) customers is blind and has asked whether we have plans for compliance with Section 508, the accessibility guidelines that govern US federal software and Web application purchasing:
<http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Content&ID=12> Have any of you made Section 508-compliant apps, and if so what challenges did you find and how did you overcome them? For example, � 1194.31(a) seems vague and rather hard to achieve in software: Functional performance criteria. (a) At least one mode of operation and information retrieval that does not require user vision shall be provided, or support for assistive technology used by people who are blind or visually impaired shall be provided. Do your apps allow keyboard control for all actions in addition to responding to the mouse? Any problems with screen readers and Rev's internal text engine? Do you have a favorite Web forum or discussion list you could recommend?
