Hi Birkir,

There are some videos on this page which may be useful:

Can you share any of your screen reader and screen magnification resources? I too believe in using multimedia to give developers context to accessibility issues, best practices and check lists and have been collating videos.

Here are the best screen reader videos I have found so far:

Thanks,
Al

Subject: [WebAIM] Any good YouTube or video demoes of A.T. for people with mobility impairment and dyslexia interacting with the web?

Hey guys

I am preparing a set of comments on a 12-page article on web
accessibility for the Icelandic government. Finally they are yielding
to pressure and identifying targets for WCAG 2.0 AA compliance of all
"public web sites" by 2016 (still need clearer definition on that, but
that's another story).
I really believe in using multi-media to introduce the people using
this online manual to the users, and having them understand the
issues, rather than having them go through check lists (they have to
do that too, but if they do it with the actual audience in mind, it
might work better).
I have plenty of screen reading and screen magnification resources
available, but was wondering if I can show interacting with web pages
using speech recognition, head mouse or switch or web accessibility
and dyslexia (though it is very similar to screen reading, so may be
there's little extra there).
If there is a video with commentary on web design considerations, all
the better.

Thanks
