I didn't quite know who I should contact, so I’d figured that I’d
contact you.
I'm an audio description critic, and I've been published in a wide array
of media and things of that nature. One place I get my content is
Netflix, the trouble is, it isn't accessible to the blind… at all. Their
streaming service anyway.
My editor set me up with a streaming account because he assumed it would
be cheaper for his blog writers… America’s comedy.com. I don't get the
physical DVDs and I can't pay for that service myself.
I've sent countless tweets, and made several telephone calls to Netflix
about the fact that their online player isn't accessible to screen
reading technology, at all, and I've also noted the lack of audio
description on any of their streaming videos, when everything, or almost
everything is closed captioning.
The iPhone application isn't even accessible with voiceover but I
primarily use a windows computer with the screen reader NVDA.
I’d like to propose a lawsuit. I've been asking for three years, and
while I don't have every email I sent them… I can make YouTube
demonstrations; I can show people how inaccessible the web service is to
the blind and the visually impaired.
If you'd like to see my articles, they are below. Thank you very much
for your time
