Hey folks,
Our screen readers did not pick up the accent--Wonder was being
interviewed by a Brit! If Stevie Wonder has been over there for a
while he could have picked up a slight accent.
Enjoyed the interview, but wow, Lynn, he sings much better then he talks!!

Hi, Sharon.
I don't know why, but I do know that my JAWS/Eloquence combination
has done the same thing. Weird. I, too, need enlightenment. ,smile>

May be a stupid question but I noticed when I got to the bbc page,
my eloquence voice began speaking with a British accent. It scared
the you know what out of me. I use window-eyes, by the way. How
did that happen? Really weird to me. How did eloquence know to go
into another accent? Do any of you know? Please enlighten me. Thanks.

product accessibility
Hi, Folks.
Well, accessibility is finally getting the press it deserves in
the form of everyone interviewing Mr. Wonder about products that
are blind -friendly. the wonderful thing to me is that the
buttons of the player are actually labeled. Now, why can't every
one do this? Ah...laziness comes to mind.
Stevie definitely performs with greater facility than he speaks,
but he's getting the word out and that's the important thing.
copy and paste the link into your browser.
Press the Letter H until you hear Stevie Wonder Interview.
Press the Down Arrow until you hear Play/Pause button and press
the spacebar.

Accessibility today, tomorrow and always!
