[access-uk] Re: everything I need to know about Firefox

I'm not sure what you meant by character recognition, but there is a plugin to 
Firefox that will enable capchas to be read by screen readers.


  Capchas are graphics containing text that people have to enter when they're 
signing up for accounts on sites such as Facebook, Yahoo, Clickbank etc.  A 
plugin to Firefox called WebVisum will read some of them.

    Sorry, think I've seen this being referred to as Character recognition on 
some websites.  I Wondered if it only worked with those that had an audio 
version, which not all do.

    Thanks for that.
    Jill.

    Hi.

    I've been aware of Firefox for a while now, but had no idea it was even 
accessible, let alone able to get around the issue of character recognition (or 
at least that's the impression I get from this list).  Anyway, Can anyone who 
uses FF and Jaws 10 please fill me in on everything I need to know about 
installing/using it.  I've been on the site and downloaded it, though haven't 
run it as yet.  The version I got was free, which surprised me.  So is there a 
free and a pay for version?  What add-ons do I need?  Do I need Jaws scripts?  
I have so many questions.  

    You can contact me off list if you like.  

    Using Vista Premium and original release of J 10.

    Thanks for your help.

    Jill.
