Hi,
It's interesting you say this and I too agree especially as it pertains to
Apple. I've found that many of their support pages with which one must
interact plays much nicer from the Windows side of things with screen
readers using FireFox. Why this is I don't know but I've definitely found it
to be the case as well.

Hi Tom,
When I checked the website with Internet Explorer (I am using Jaws 16 public
beta) there was no option for an audio captcha. I then used Firefox and of
course was able to use Webvisum to solve the captcha, but in addition Jaws
announced a button "Visually Impaired" which when I pressed it gave me a
relatively easy to understand audio captcha.
I prefer Internet Explorer for most things, but find that nowadays one can't
necessarily rely on or get by with just one browser. I find that either with
IE or Firefox I can do what I need to do and I'll only try Google Chrome if
all else fails.
Regards,
Sieghard

Cool, almost.
I went to icloud.com/activationlock, put in my serial number to try it, but
there was a captia that I had to input the text for, with no workaround for
an audio captia. Go figure. Smiles.

Subject: Apple releases online tool for checking Activation Lock status of
iOS devices
Apple releases online tool for checking Activation Lock status of iOS
devices by MacDailyNews [cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple recently released
a tool that lets anyone check the Activation Lock status of iOS devices,"
Sébastien Page reports for iDownloadBlog. "Introduced along iOS 7,
Activation Lock is a security feature that prevents anyone from erasing or
activating your iOS device without entering your Apple ID and password
first. The feature must be disabled before a device is passed or sold to
another person. Failure to do so renders the device unusable for the new
owner."
"With the release of this new tool, Apple wants to make the process of
checking for Activation Lock easier, and prevent people from buying a device
that might have been locked because it was lost, stolen, or simply because
the previous owner forgot remove the device from his account," Page reports.
"By going to iCloud.com/ActivationLock, anyone can enter the IMEI or Serial
Number of an iOS device to check its status. If the device is locked, a
message clarifies that the current user’s Apple ID and password will be
required before anyone else can activate and use the device.
