I haven't looked at the page yet, but I want to dispel the myth that you
are unable to access WebBraille if you lack a braille display or a copy of
an expensive OCR program for the blind. You can use the free braille
translation program winTrans, which is the windows interface to the free
command-line program NFBTrans, to back-translate web braille documents, then
read them as you would read any other text. You can download winTrans here:

Subject: ESPN the magazine online
Hello list,
Has anyone on here had any luck navigating the online version of the ESPN
Magazine editions? The best I can do is get to a website with flash where it
seems like the pages are listed as buttons, but I am not able to access any
articles. I was once informed that ESPN the magazine was available through
the web braille service, but since I don?t have a Braille display and
neither Kurzweil, that?s not really an option. I was just wondering if
someone knew of a way how to better access the articles because I?ve had no
success so far. I?ve contacted ESPn directly and I get the typical run
around about call this department and that department. We?ll make note of
your situation etc. Mainly though, I get the impression that they just want
to get me off of the phone ASAP as soon as they hear the words blind and
accessibility and so on. I get the magazine in print as part of a
subscription package for something else, but of course I can?t read it.
I?m using JFW 8.0 Pro on an XP machine, but even with prior versions, I?ve
had no luck.
Cristobal
