[nfbcs] Using Apple Photo Stream on Windows with JAWS or NVDA

[Kevin Fjelsted]

Interesting question about accessibility on a second platform.
Microsoft word is not at accessible on the Mac in fact none of the office products are.
In the case of Microsoft office for windows, would there be any accessibility without a third party screen reader since Microsoft seems to get by being off the hook for supporting screen reading functions beyond the Navigator bare bones?

iTunes is only accessible on windows because of outside pressures litigiously or otherwise.

Chromevox is accessible on multiple platforms only because it made it’s own sub platform. :)
We should be demanding that an app be accessible on any platform it is built for.
