the problem with facebook extends to many thousands of sites across the world who do not properly code or object label their sites. each part of a site contains graphical links, etc which in cases are not labeled or if ar then left as numbers, making life EXTREMELY difficult for us all.
it's not a case of an app in most cases to make a website accessible, it's a question of the developers listening to website accessibility requirements and documentation which is widely available and in many cases, developers comply with these rules and development requirements. that's the sad fact of it. I've lost count of sites I've had to work with where I've had to have sighted help even to get a bloomin phone number. the other ridiculous issue is CAPTCHA. don't get me started on this nightmare, then adding inaudible translations which are poorly recorded and distorted. an absolute joke. sorry. it's one of those days for Free Macs For The Blind where things aren't looking too good. lew On 30 Nov 2011, at 16:19, Paul Erkens wrote: > Dear listers, > > What is the best way for a voiceover mac or an iphone user to work with > facebook?
