I am not a lawyer, either, so pardon my ignorance. DGiven the intent of 508,
does "specific accessibility-related software or the attachment of an
assistive technology device" pertain only if direct access is not embedded in the
product? So, would a purchaser first try to identify a phone that is HAC or a
copier with text to speech, for example, but lacking that as an option then only
need to provide the accessibility software or hardware on an as needed basis
by the individual user?
