[nabs-l] confused - regarding - NFB Google Apps complaint

[Nimer Jaber]

Hello,

Google Aps are accessible with screen readers that have innovated and
are able to use google apps such as NVDA for example. JFW works, but
very limitedly. What happened to the screen reader companies doing
their jobs and making things accessible instead of the NFB getting
sue-happy *gain* and complaining because screen reader companies are
falling behind? I don't think that Google has _ever refused to work on
accessibility for anyone. Just saying ...

Thanks.
