Good evening,
These flyers are generally scanned images of the flyer, or incredibly
inaccessible html flyers. Some retailers that contract with conversys
do have conversys provide a separate accessible flyer. You should
search the retailers site for an accessible flyer link, otherwise
contact the retailer and tell them to get conversys to provide an
accessible flyer.
HTH,

I am having trouble reading on line flyers produced by Conversys. I
am using Jaws 10 and IE7.
I can see all kinds of links and image maps on the pages but the
Virtual PC mode does not see any product details. I can see some
product text if I use the Jaws cursor but only if I start from the
bottom of the IE window and use the up arrow. If I start from the
top, the page looks almost empty.
There are also controls that don't show as actual controls to Jaws.
It is really hard to get to them with the Jaws cursor and click them.
If I select and copy using virtual cursor, I get all the links and
such but no product text. If I use on screen highlight, I get even
less info copied.
I've use both types of document layouts and both types of selecting
text. I've tried several html settings but don't get anything better.
I hope a few of you will try this out and see if they can get better
results. This company now produces most of the online flyers for
many large Canadian retailers. I want to help make their flyer more
accessible but I need more information.
The link I'll give takes you to a page that asks for a Canadian
postal code. You can use mine if you don't know one.

I hope the link works as it was to long for one line.
Thanks in advance.
