You know, if you can't get the feedback you're looking for, how about describing a history of screen reading accessibility in terms of chronology as it compares to mainstream access to various software suites sighted people have had access to and not the blind community--though you may have already introduced your dissertation in this manner. You might also want to describe current gaps in accessibility as well as where the field is going--with your innovations of course.

Hello all, I have recently completed the first draft of my dissertation, which is on blind computer programmers and using audio to program. In it, I've created a special C programming environment, ran a ton of experiments, and written more than any human would probably want to read. At the very end of my dissertation, I thought it might be nice to include a section, a few paragraphs, on some "classically bad audio interfaces." Does anyone have any stories of interacting with a program, using Jaws or any other interfaces that use audio, that are so comically bad that they have you scratching your head? I would love to hear some stories, if folks wouldn't mind sharing. (The funnier the better) Just curious, Andreas __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ NOD32 2861 (20080209) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
