You can now also disable all internal verifications by linking your mobile
with your facebook, they text you a code, you enter it at the appropriate
screen and your verifications are removed. This used to be only available
to US and Canada, but has been recently introduced to here in the UK too.

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.
