Hi Iain,
I only wish the "totally blind consultant" whom they referred to actually
came on air and spoke to give it some balance. But all they said was that
that person, and they didn't name them, said that it was accessible, but
more difficult.
All the best
Steve

My main problem (as I may have already said) was that the iPlayer was
painted as much more inaccessible than it actually is. It is indeed very
poor that the areas which are inaccessible are inaccessible. However, the
main functionality such as finding and playing programmes is far from
inaccessible. Like every other website, all that is needed is to spend a
little time getting to know it and a willingness to overcome the fear of
Flash.

Just to point out that Quicktime is perfectly accessible using voice over on
my Apple mac book, I use it all the time for listening to audio books in mp3
and I have had no problems listening to streams via the www.
As the saying goes, works for me! smile

Devon, glorious Devon (first verse)
Combe and tor,
green meadow and lane,
birds on the waving bough.
Beetling cliffs by the surging main,
rich red loam for the plough.
Devon's the font of the finest blood
that braces England's breed.
Her maidens fair as the apple bud
and her men are men indeed.

Well, at least it isn't the Apple Quick Time player we're dealing with here,
and that abounds in many podcasts. A greater load of pance in lack of
accessability is hard to imagine.
