OK thanks for all your feedback on this site. As I thought, it's pretty
much unusable.

We've tried it with Jaws, NVDA, Windows Eyes and Chromevox.

It's a tech company selling expensive products for home heating control,
and it SEEMS that they have made their website totally inaccessible to
screenreader users, by using 100% javascript to render the page, and then
in a way which screen readers can't use.

I spoke to them and they seem in no rush - "it would cost a lot to fix",
apparently. There's vague talk of an API sometime later in the year which
may allow someone to write something more accessible, but I feel it's time
for a little media interest, because it does seem that this company may be
breaking the law if the user of the device cannot use the device without
sighted assistance.

But before I did that though, I just wanted to check that I wasn't missing
something, and that it really is as bad as it seems!

Thanks!
