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
