[access-uk] Re: facebook.com - an amazing, yet partially inaccessible, tool for blind people

Derek. We're talking about whether it would be possible to output subtitles of TV shows in text format at the BBC, so deafblind people can download them. There's a solution. Or a partial one. If audio description scripts could also be added into the subtitle script in the relevant places, you may well have a damn good bit of access to TV.
It all exists. It's just a matter of whether or not it is possible to connect it all together on the fly automatically at some stage.

"If there is a possible solution then it should be implemented."

Only if the solution is reasonable, that was my  general point.
For yourself,  voice output is the answer to most things as regards
computers.
For myself Braille is the answer.
But there are  times  that I have to accept I can't have the Braille
output.
A good example  would be:
Deaf sighted  have subtitles for TV
Hearing blind  have audio  descriptions for TV
but what is the  answer for the  Deafblind that may want to access
TV programmes.

Subtitles  in Braille  is possible  but would be far too fast
to follow in braille, so there would be need for a sort of buffer at the 
receiving end to allow for slower  reading speed.
