> T.V. Raman is a Research Scientist at Google who knows a thing or two
> about accessibility. We took the opportunity to interview him, and
> Hubbell, his seeing-eye dog (who was nice and quiet).
>
> We started out by asking the honest question that developers ask about
> accessibility: "What is in it for me?". T.V. discusses the practical
> issues, and what you should be doing with respect to accessibility, and
> how it is one piece of the usability picture.
>
> We then delve into the problems of developing accessible websites, and
> solutions to some of the problems.
>
> If you listen to the interview you will learn:
>
> How not to develop in a user-agent specific manner
> Fun issues with screen readers
> How audio CAPTCHA brings equality to the pain of CAPTCHA, and how people
> who can see use the audio ones
> How painful is the Web to view for a blind person
> Using the Google Web Transcoder (the other GWT!) to clean up pages
>

> How CSS hasn't been as leveraged as much as we would like
> How the increase in mobile and widget platforms has a side effect of
> accessible views
> How RIA applications deal with accessibility
> How T.V. has written custom clients for Google APIs
> What standards groups are doing in the accessibility space
> Dealing with Python, a language that cares about whitespace, as a blind
> man.
