For past 10 months, I have been using CourseSmart on OS X, Windows, and iOS for past year with VoiceOver and NVDA; it's been an excellent experience.
CourseSmart Reader is a cloud reader with HTML5 offline access capabilities. It will work with OS X VoiceOver Webkit, Safari, and Lightning web browsers. CourseSmart has been working closely with Ann Taylor from the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan center and there have been lots of progress in improving accessibility. STEPP did give presentations at NFB and ACB, with overview, demonstrations, and Q&A. For more information on mainstream, universally accessible eTextbooks, which can be accessed anywhere, and anytime, please visit: http://STEPP.GATech.Edu Kevin On 8/17/11, David Tanner <david.tanner...@gmail.com> wrote: > I went to their presentation at the NFB convention.
