Hi Lyn.
Hang on a second. You talk of over priced screen readers when you don't
realize yet all they can do. Does voice over on the Mac or IPhone have
scripting capability? NO! Do they have Braille support? no! (excepting
grade one on the Mac). Also, you fail to take in to account the massive
selection of screen readers on pc's. OK, jaws and window-eyes are the most
common and at a higher price range, but System Access, NVDA and Narrator are
either inexpensive or free, providing varying degrees of accessibility to
windows and its applications. With the Mac and IPhone, you have the one
screen reader take it or leave it, and to my mind if you've only one
developer IE Apple who's primary concern isn't accessibility, you've got
serious problems. FS and GW Micro spend hundreds of thousands of dollars
and many man hours developing their products to meet the ever more growing
and complex demands of their customers. Think what you like, but please
don't fall over to promote apple and praise them as you would the lord just
because they give you a built in screen reader.
All the best, Ibrahim.
