Yes Mary, she specifically told me that her job was to assist and/or forward a 
report of, anyone who was visually impaired having any difficulty with an 
Amazon issue.

 

One of my reports was that when using the shopping or to-do lists in the Alexa 
app, that often tapping a checkbox to toggle its state did not change the state 
of the item.  This was a sporatic problem, and I cannot reliably reproduce it, 
but it seems to happen to me frequently.

 

Another  was that there was no way to print the list from the Alexa app, and 
when in the web page, if you had more items than would fit on one printed page, 
then printing the list would only print the first page of items (I sent someone 
to the store with such a printed list, not knowing a good portion of my list 
had not been printed).

 

The other reports all had to do with their web site.

 

Hth,

 

Chip

Thanks, Chip. So it sounds like they have one individual who is prepared to 
deal with any issue related to access by the visually impaired? Is that how you 
interpreted what they told you? And if your bug reports that you filed were 
related to using voiceover and or an iPhone, would you mind saying what they 
were? I haven't use the Alexa app recently. The last time I did, it seemed OK.

Hi all,

 

Today I had to report a problem with the Alexa app and the Alexa web site to 
Amazon (they were both screen reader related problems).

 

Just FYI, if you need to report an accessibility issue, they said to call their 
primary customer service number below and tell them that you have a visually 
impaired technical problem to report, and could you speak with the special 
department setup for this (which is the same as asking for Monica she said).  
She will either try to help you, or, send a report to the appropriate group (I 
sent 4 reports today).

 

Amazon's Customer Service number is 1 (888) 280-4331

 

 

 

Hth,

 

Chip
