A program manager at Google is interested in YouTube accessibility.

I've looked at the site and find that you can't click the "upload" link with
Jaws and there is at least one unlabeled flash button that reads as "zero".

Does anyone else have observations I should get to him?

Please shoot a message to Michael Lockrey. It seems he
prefers Twitter for communication: @mLockrey

Or, he's been interviewed about YouTube and Deaf/HoH recently,
but maybe not recent enough as stuff's always changing.

He deals with captions, captions uploading and was already
working on "crowd-source captions" before Google got their
beta-beta out (or whatever that was they talked about at
CSUN).

Hello Mike,

I just checked "upload" using both NVDA and JAWS and was able to click.

Can you please let me know the combination that you are using?

Thanks,
Srini

I'm using the latest version of Jaws with IE. When I click on the upload link nothing happens. I did look around the screen to see if perhaps there is a window opening that I'm not seeing but couldn't find one.

Has this program manager been in touch with Naomi Black - Her email is = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = <mailto: = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = >. Naomi was, I believe, the YouTube/Google program manager responsible for improving its accessibility, at least some years ago when several NIH and other Federal employees met with her at Google's DC office.

What if the first question we asked was, "what is so unique about this situation that it justifies exclusion? instead of, "how much does it cost to make it accessible?

What about audio descriptions? There is YouDescribe, but that is 3rd-party
and uses Flash, and so leaves out mobile.
