[nabs-l] accessibility of Share Point, One Note, and Voice Thread

[Joe]

Steve,

Shhhhh. If I think it makes SharePoint work better, it will hopefully become
true. LOL It really is psychological for me, but I suppose there have been a
few times when the accessible mode has made clicking on links a little more
smoother. When I click on Site Actions, for example, I seem to get to the
menu I want faster? Maybe? I'm grasping here. We'll see what 2013 brings for
me when the migration is complete next month.

Joe,

As someone who has worked with the platform as you do, I am curious if you
have found anything that the "more accessible" mode does.  When accessing
pages, I have yet to find anything that changes with Window-Eyes and have
always wondered what I might be missing.  <smile>

My experience sounds similar to yours in that I don't enjoy using it
although one gets better at it.  However, I am at the point where I am just
thankful when something isn't completely inaccessible.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
