Hi, I had tried it a few times with no success, but on Friday night, it
finally worked for me, and the play/pause button speaks and works. Not a bad
effort actually in the end.

Subject: [access-uk] New BBC IPlayer accessability
there has been considerable discussion over the last few days on the launch
of the BBC Flash-based IPlayer on the UK-radio list.
It maybe the primary responsibility for making it fully accessible rests
with the BBC, but screen reader manufacturers might have to improve their
act too. With Sight Village coming up then mention of this to the various
companies including during their demonstrations and seminars could be a way
of raising the need for more to happen on the Flash Player front.
So, I ask that anyone who's as concerned as I am about this should ask all
screen reader vendors to look at what they can do to improve on their
current access to Flash content as it is probable more could be done to
improve things than is presntly being done.
Any opportunity to raise it with the Beeb themselves would be well
worthwhile too, but I dispaire of In Touch taking any note whatsoever of
what people say to them in terms of what they should cover. None as blind
as those who will not hear? If you see what I mean.
I'll post an address of a BBC staff member who might be a listening ear if
he agrees to this.
Cheers,
Ray.
