Hi,
The basics of facebook is accessible I'd say. To sign up for it you have to
do a captcha thing - where you have to copy the characters from an image
into a box which is not accessible for JAWS. I got a friend to help with
this.
Then once you've set up your account a lot of the time when you want to join
a group or add someone as a friend or something, you have to do the captcha
thing again - but I e-mailed their customer services/support people and
explained I used a screen reader etc and they got the captcha taken off my
account. I can't remember the address. I know several screen reader users
have done this.
I say the basics is accessible - I mean things like joining groups, sorting
out your profile, adding/communicating with friends. There are lots of
applications you can add and some of these aren't accessible.
Also, sometimes the screen updates and JAWS might not pick up on it - you
might need to do JAWS Escape to refresh the screen, or search for a checkbox
or something.
So it's not without its problems but it can be used...

Hi
Does anyone know whether Facebook is accessible to use with Jaws? Thought
I'd check this out with people before trying to use it.
Thanks.
