[nfbcs] Opinions?

[Mike Freeman]

I absolutely agree. However, I submit that it may well be supremely
unrealistic to expect everything to be tested by a multiplicity of
screen-reading packages? And where does it end? Who determines what
screen-readers should be tested? And how thorough should the tests be? And
do we include note-takers which, in essence, are PDAs? And who will pay for
the testing? There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

JAWS should not be the only mechanism for testing the accessibility of
sites. There are many other screen-reading  and browser reading tools in use
now.
The increased use of mobile platforms also compounds the variables.
Standards compliance is the first frontline approach coupled with actual
tests using individual high use tools.
