It seems that almost everyone has added to the list of Will's suggested
inclusions in the first version. Some of them seem quite techy and
advanced for this particular phase, in my humble opinion.
I think it's a great starter list, far beyond what version 1 of any
other access product has attempted to offer.
While we certainly want the reader to do all it can and to cover as
much ground as possible, according to the project name, it is or will
still be considered a Screen Reader. Now, whether that means just
reading the screen as has been the case in the conventional sense, is
open for everyone's interpretation.
A good common sense approach, in my judgment, would be a Screen Reader
with this definition:
A reader which reads and gives adequate speech output, necessary for
one to be able to use the computer effectively.
Braille support is great if you can afford the high cost braille
displays. That's just a fact of life, isn't it? Hopefully,
refreshables will come down some day.
To push for this over speech when speech is so much more affordable and
certainly in compliance with the outset and design of the project, is
to hide one's head in the sand.
Smile,
Tony
