Re: How does a Screen Reader work?

Hi Tedd,

There are ways to make flash accessible to screen readers. I personally
don't use any flash but I have read about making your flash accessible to
screen readers. One way would be to provide a label to your button
describing its purpose. You should also make sure that you provide keyboard
access to the button as well. I can't help you on a technical aspect, as I
currently don't know much about flash in that way.

Hope this helps a bit.
