Ok, so now that we've had it out about the two main screen readers in the 
market, lets talk accessibility in general.
How do we feel about making mainstream products accessible? Is that better 
than having specialised products for the blind? Why should the big fish care 
about making their stuff accessible, when it's possible to create 
specialised products? Why do we feel that the world "owes us accessibility"?
How do we feel about alternative interfaces to websites?
All this and more on the next Attitude Test, Sunday at19UTC, that's 3pm US 
eastern, 12pm US Pacific, and 9pm in Central Europe only on The Global Voice

You can send us an e mail any time to

So lets talk accessibility.
Hoping to have your company and your comments.
