<p
style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; display: block;"> The feedback
we have received so far on the beta 1 for Worldspace FireEyes has been
great. I have received comments ranging from “Very impressive!!” and
“This is very easy to use, the reading order analysis is great and I
was able to immediately determine the reason for the issue” to “This
finds things that no other tool can find.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; display: block;"> Like all
software however, we also received some feedback that was not so good –
specifically we discovered some incompatibilities with the WAVE
toolbar. Now some would say that we did this on purpose (and I wish we
were that sly) because the first beta stopped WAVE from appearing in
the toolbar and stopped it from working altogether – that is however
not the case. So yesterday we released<a moz-do-not-send="true"

Subject: accessibility testing using a Mac?
← Previous message | Next message →

Hello,

I've taken the plunge and am now the owner of a MacBook pro. My plan is
not to replace my PC, although I've heard I may get converted. Rather, the
intention is, as someone working in accessibility, to totally immerse
myself in the world of VoiceOver, Safari, and so on, simply to gain
1st-hand user experience using the Mac and to observe and understand
differences re accessibility interacting with the web using a Mac VS a PC.

On that, curious if folks are using a Mac/VoiceOver as part of their
accessibility testing process?

We won't stick an "Apple Fan Boi" sticker on you right away.

If I need to check something with a "real" screen reader, I always use my
MacBook and VoiceOver. Most of the on-line testing apps are OS neutral and
work as a browser plugin or through a website.

As I still don't really know my way around VoiceOver (I have to keep the
cheat sheet handy), I sometimes have to call on my screen reading friends
like @steveofmaine to put the site through its paces.

I regularly use Win7, but also have a machine with Win XP and one with
Ubuntu.

I use a Mac but I don't test. I've never used Jaws so can't compare,
but I love my Mac. Feel free to write me off list if you need any
help. :)

Subject: Accessibility testing with Flash, what is a good example of accessible Flash
← Previous message | Next message →

Hello

I am looking into accessibility of the web page www.menningarnott.is
(page for a big local event in Iceland).
The page is only written in Flash (obviously I have to recommend a
non-Flash based option), but also it is extremely poorly written. Jaws
will find a few buttons, but they are not labelled, and then text that
is apart from these buttons (I assume the location of the text in
relation to the buttons describes the default function).
Hitting tab on this page with My Jaws 11 will crash Jaws, which is interesting.
I am wondering if you guys can provide me with a few shortcuts:
a. Is there a way to find out what version of Flash a particular page
was written in (for a user I mean)?

b. Do you have to set the TabIndex property specifically in a Flash
based page, or is that something to do with what version of Flash is
used to generate the page, i.e. it would be built in automaticaly (I
suppose Flex 4 would provide such functionality by default).

3. Do any of you have a very good example of accessible Flash, ideally
Flex 4 based page? I have used the JK Rowling page in the past, but I
think there might be better versions out there.

I will do research on the Adobe Accessibility web site, and of course
recommend a non-flash based alternative, but I am curious to explore
the Flash possibilities in further detail, since there is no reason a
Flash based page should be this inaccessible.
Cheers
-Birkir

Hi,

I've found this useful when discussing the subject with Flash designers:

Hope it helps.
