Am I right in thinking that not all the poems are actually read out loud or
are there buttons or graphics JAWS 6.2 can't see?

Using JAWS 7.0 and IE 6.0 I had no problems. Pressed enter on a graphical
link with alt text which was name of the poem I wanted to hear which opened
a new browser window. Then pressed enter on a link which said "Watch the
video" which brought up real player.

Subject: [access-uk] BBC Poetry Out Loud: How's this for accessability?
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.
