Youshould use window-eyes. I had absolutely no trouble reading that
particular poem. I found a button which said "inactive control" and when I
pressed the spacebar on it real player came on and the poem was read.

Ah yes, I see. Now I've just tried to hear the one by John Hegley using JAWS 7.0 and I can't find any link or button - not even un unlabelled one - to activate the video. The only links are for real player and close this page. I haven't disabled flash. Does anyone else share this experience?

Hi Ray, It depends which of the poems you want to listen to. I tried the Turkeys poem, the one by John Hegley and the cat protection league. All three took me to a pop up, the first and last had a link watch this poem or something similar which then launched real player and began playing. The second one seemed to use flash and had a button which WE 5.0 described as inactive control. I pressed enter on this which then brought the same page with 4 buttons completely unlabelled. Pressed enter on the top one and the poem began to play.

Just discovered via an email newsletter the BBC's Poetry Outloud page at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/poetry/outloud/index.shtml
I find it works only with Internet Explorer, (I use Firefox by default).
Each link to the poems brings up yet another encarnation of Real Player, and
I only got Window-Eyes to recognize these Real Player buttons by labeling
them.
So, Question: Is it just me? Or has the Beeb given us another less than
ideally accessable page? I'll be interested to see how all, and any variety
of screen readers handle this page.
