Yes it is working great with system access I agree, and you can easily start and stop the playing of the audio sample. I must admit I don't like the structure of the new site. When I was viewing the new release pages, I used to be able to see a brief summary underneath each title which used to give me an indication as to whether I wanted to read the full summary. Now when I went to get my two audio books this month, I had to press enter on each link to see what the book was about, then go back to the new release page. But at least with system access we can hear the audio samples now. ----- Original Message ----- From: M BROWN To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 5:56 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audible The flash player is now fine with System Access.

They've used an embedding technique that hides the Flash from screen readers, the Flash itself isn't accessible and the underlying code isn't compatible either. It isn't easy to reverse engineer Flash, but the principle problems are clear. I contacted Audible earlier this week to explain all this and give them some more technical information. How quickly they respond will depend on whether it's a third party application or whether they have in-house control over it. If it is a third party application, I've also pointed them at a fully accessible alternative.

I use the tab key to navigate through the info for each book, author, title etc. from memory, it takes five presses to go through the info for each book. On the second or third press jaws remains silent but if you hit enter at that point the sample plays. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of M BROWN Sent: 28 November 2008 12:08 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Audible In recent times a sample recording of books etc. was not available when using screen readers. This would still seem to be the same using JAWS Version 10 and below. However, when using System Access, the problem seems to be resolved. Using System Access, I am able to get a sample recording of anything on the Audible site. Martin
