Hey folks,
Our screen readers did not pick up the accent--Wonder was being interviewed
by a Brit! If Stevie Wonder has been over there for a while he could have
picked up a slight accent.
Enjoyed the interview, but wow, Lynn, he sings much better then he talks!!

Hi, Sharon.
I don't know why, but I do know that my JAWS/Eloquence combination has done
the same thing. Weird. I, too, need enlightenment. ,smile>

May be a stupid question but I noticed when I got to the bbc page, my
eloquence voice began speaking with a British accent. It scared the you know
what out of me. I use window-eyes, by the way. How did that happen? Really
weird to me. How did eloquence know to go into another accent? Do any of you
know? Please enlighten me. Thanks.

Hi, Folks.
Well, accessibility is finally getting the press it deserves in the
form of everyone interviewing Mr. Wonder about products that are blind
-friendly. the wonderful thing to me is that the buttons of the player are
actually labeled. Now, why can't every one do this? Ah...laziness comes to
mind.
Stevie definitely performs with greater facility than he speaks, but
he's getting the word out and that's the important thing.
copy and paste the link into your browser.
Press the Letter H until you hear Stevie Wonder Interview.
Press the Down Arrow until you hear Play/Pause button and press the
spacebar.

Accessibility today, tomorrow and always!
