Nick You can download a trial (30 days) copy of IBM homepage reader (web browser): [windows only] http://www-3.ibm.com/able/solution_offerings/hpr.html this is a good tool for getting a feel for how your pages are "heard" as it is simpler/easier to use than full blown screen readers such as JAWS.
there is also a screen reader [outSPOKEN] for the mac which you can download a demo of, but i think it may have stopped being produced. http://www.synapseadaptive.com/alva/outspoken/outspoken_for_mac.htm with regards Steven Faulkner Web Accessibility Consultant National Information & Library Service (NILS) 454 Glenferrie Road Kooyong Victoria 3144 Phone: (613) 9864 9281 Fax: (613) 9864 9210 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Information Library Service A subsidiary of RBS.RVIB.VAF Ltd. Nick Lo <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ctive.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: [WSG] Solutions for testing in speech/text readers [EMAIL PROTECTED] group.org 22/10/2004 12:31 PM Please respond to wsg Steven Faulkner just made me realise I've not yet seen or asked about set-ups for actually testing sites using speech/text readers. There are plenty of articles on browser testing but how would you go about setting up an environment for testing via speech/text readers. I use a Mac for development (OS X) but do have an old PC for browser testing. What are the solutions available?
