[nfbcs] NFB & narrator

[Jude DaShiell]

There sure is, it's the software testing department.  If that department 
knows the standards, it's possible for them to do the testing and find 
out what's really under that hood.
One sure fire way to fail applications really quickly is to check for 
proprietary controls.  If those get found it's time to research the 
creators and find out if those controls had any accessibility 
considerations baked into the coding.  If not, a testing department can 
reject the appication on the basis of proprietary controls not connected 
with accessibility.  If every accessibility testing department used that 
as their first pass test their productivity would increase sharply.  
Codeview for those who know how to use it can test windows software and 
various web-based tools exist to test web pages.
