Hopefully this isn't off topic, but I need beta testers from the blind
community if anyone is interested.
The service is an AJAX driven Amazon.com search engine, which is now live at
http://gutterstar.net/amazon.php
It includes quite a few accessibility enhancements, including focus redirection
when new pages load, and the following hotkey shortcuts:
Alt+S = Search edit field.
Alt+` = The main dynamic content header.
Alt+B = Back in the virtual browser history.
Alt+F = Forward in the virtual browser history.
There is also a fairly comprehensive header structure as well, which makes it
very easy to skip between product sections while browsing.
I haven't made the service public yet, because I would like to get people's
input to see if there is anything that I can do to make the service
1. Easier to use.
2. More accessible for screen reader users.
3. more reliable by identifying any missed bugs.
If you would like to send me any feedback, I'd really appreciate it. Please
email me at
bryan.garaventa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll likely see it first at this address.
Thanks,
Bryan
