Dear Steven.
Foxtel are pleased to announce in cooperation with Apple that we will
be launching a fully accessible download programs player for the Mac
version 10 operating system on August 1 2010.
The player which only previously worked with windows operating system
will be accessible for all Mac version 10 operating systems and
technical support advises me that the player will be fully accessible
with the voice over screen reader apple uses for all of its current
Mac operating system version 10 computers.
At this time, foxtel wishes to advise that our player doesn't work
with some windows based screen readers, however foxtel has made
official contact with a company by the name of freedom scientific in
our efforts to make our download player friendly for all of freedom
scientific screen reading products.
At this time, we are unable to give an exact date for this
accessibility, however, it is hoped we will have a fully accessible
version of our player for all of the freedom scientific screen readers
by the end of 2010.
We also wish to ask all Foxtel subscribers who are blind or who are
vision impaired to call us on 131999 and speak with our feedback
section as to ways we can improve the foxtel.com.au website.
We are particularly interested in hearing how we can make the remote
record online programs section more accessible.
Foxtel also advises that we have been advised by apple that the
remote record iphone application is now fully accessible for all
iphone users, however, we are conscious not all Foxtel subscribers
who are blind and or vision impaired use an iphone, so we are wishing
to make genuine attempts to make our foxtel.com.au website more
accessible and more user friendly.
We suggest all Foxtel subscribers who are blind and or vision
impaired please call us on 131999 and ask to speak with our feedback
section about any problems and or difficulties they are currently
encountering with the accessibility to our foxtel.com.au website.
We will take absolutely all feedback extremely seriously, so please
feel free to call us on 131999.
As for i q accessibility matters, it is unfortunately regrettable to
say we are a long way off a fully talking i q with full talking menus
at this stage.
We thank you and all other foxtel subscribers who are blind and or
vision impaired for making us here at foxtel aware of all
accessibility and or inaccessibility related issues, and we look
forward to receiving any and all feedback regarding this matter.
Kind Regards.
Andria Duglass.
Foxtel Team.
ps. From Steven Taylor.
Folks I don't know if this player will work with ausstar subscribers
as yet but I am waiting for correspondents regarding this.
