I got nailed with Motor Home magazine. I used the contact us link and complained about the accessibility. Got a auto responder message back saying we are aware of this problem and are working to correct it in an upcoming update or words to that effect. That was over a year ago and the so far it's still the same. I don't know that it's a scan of the magazine or not. According to my sighted wife, the pages are in color and so are the pictures to make it look as much like the printed copy as possible. She says you can usually tell a scan job from the original and this looks more like that then a scanned copy. I suspect it's going to be the same way with all or at least most magazines. ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil Barnfather - TalkNav To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 6:36 AM Subject: Re: Magazines through iTunes
Craig, The three or so magazines that I have tried through that, always as paid by the way, none have worked. They are all as you correctly point out images or scans of the actual product. This of course renders them inaccessible and this will not change until the producer converts the production method to something accessible.

For each of the magazines, there was a subscription price, but there was also a free sample option for each. I selected the free sample for download, but I found the magazine to not be accessible using voice over. In other words, the magazine was like a scanned photo of the actual magazine pages. Here are my questions: 1. Was the magazine inaccessible with voice over because it was a sample, or would the subscription likely be the same way? 2. Are there any magazines that are not produced in this format and that is accessible with voice over? 3. Is there any work around? 4. Is there any other app that will assist in making these magazines accessible? Thank you, Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
