[bcab] Re: text or more?

The point I was making is that text (where applicable) is best for blind users. Of course a computer will always have graphics for sighted people but it will always be easier for blind people to read text rather than graphics. I don't think maps would be suitable to turn into text although a flow chart certainly could.

Hi,

I certainly disagree with the notion that text is best. There are many times when blind people benefit greatly from graphics, whether it be understanding a flow chart, a tactile map or countless other things. Text is often very good, but diagrams can be even more helpful. I think it very important that people have the skills to read them.

Cheers
Dave
