Hello everyone. Hope you are having a nice spring break. If
you're not on spring break, still, have a nice week. I have a
question that I'm wanting to ask other blind people but I don't
know if this is the correct list to ask this question. My
question deals with online purchases and electronic transactions.
First, how accessible are the buy-content forms with any screen
reader? Second, I have a debit card and I would like to use it
for, say, buying things off the site Amazon.com. I heard that on
online stores or sites, you have to enter details for credit
cards only. My question is, how do I enter the details for a
debit card? Is there a specific number or character code printed
on my debit card that I should memorize? Is there a place on the
page (when I'm actually buying) to enter specifically debit card
details? Are debit transactions secure online?
I'm sorry to go off-topic here, but I wanted to know how blind
people deal with these experiences while purchasing content from
Itunes, for instance, and things like that. One of my blind
friends does this independently, and I believe I can do this, and
as a matter of fact one factor of independence is the ability to
be able to do this and one of many other things on my own. Plus
I can manage my own life better when I move out! * smile * Any
input on this matter is appreciated.
cheers, Humberto
