Well, believe it or not I have seen people tell a company that their
suggested solution for solving an accessibility problem with their software
really wasn't necessary because people could get along without any changes.
This gets done because the individual saying that usually doesn't have to
use the part of the software that is causing the problem, so they don't
really think it is that big of a deal even though it may mean that another
person really couldn't use the software effectively for what they needed to
do with that software.
This kind of thing happens a lot more often than you would want to believe
that it does, and usually has to do with the individual really not knowing
the software as well as they should. I know betatesters for certain
companies who make assistive technology software who report that they see no
problems with a particular beta when there are other betatesters finding a
lot of problems. This again happens because some betatesters don't take
their job seriously enough.

lol,
Who writes or, calls a company telling them they do not have to fix a
problem. That would be a bit, well, over the top, no?

That is not acceptable. Converting to text files may destroy the
formating and make getting the correct information from a table difficult
or impossible. This is a serious problem, and has been a known problem
often and repeatedly reported to Apple. I sincerely hope you are not
someone telling Apple that they don't need to fix the problem. If so,
please let them know that it needs fixing if Apple is to be seriously
considered by folks it is absolutely necessary that a person be able to
read and edit tables, and do advanced editing or it is not going to work
for a lot of people. Simple text editing is not good enough.

I also have no problems navigating tables. The one place where this can be
a problem is in word processor documents, but these can easily be read by
converting them to plain text.

Tables?
I find navigating tables to be perfectly fine.

Hi.
One thing that would be very wellcome here is if tables could be more
accessible. That is a major problem, in a way not for me, because I hate
tables, but I know that here in Denmark it is one of the major reasons
not to recommend mac.
I would also like to see a function, so that I can choose where I would
like my VoiceOver voice to play, in my external soundcard, a USB headset
or the built in speakers. It is really annoying to hear my mac speeking
in my living room speakers, when I am hearing music through my external
speakers.
Then I have a thing that in my opinion is hanging back. I think you have
guessed what it is. Wright it is braille. There are a lot of apples
choices i simply do not understand. Why are we not allowed as users to
modify apples braille tables, there are really many bugs. I would also
like to see a function, so that we can add hotkeys to mac commands not
only VOICEOver commands.
Best regards Annie.
