[Nfbwv-talk] FW: [blind-hams] FW: Digital QST

[David Allen]

Hi all!

Just forwarding this for information.

It's another example of discrimination we face every day.

I have reviewed the recorded version that is available, but while I've found
some parts of it interesting, and certainly, the length of information in it
is greater now than we got on caseete 40 odd years ago, it's not what we
need.

See below.

Hi all!

 

Well, here's the skinny. 

 

I feared it, but now I have it in writing. Clearly there is a case here.

 

73,

Dave

Digital QST is created for us by PageSuite LLC, a company based in the
United Kingdom. At the present time, the format is not readable by screen
reader software since it is largely image based. It is possible that
PageSuite may offer compatible formats at some point, but they have not
provided a schedule for doing so. For now, we continue to provide QST to the
National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
(www.loc.gov/nls/)

Hi Rick!

 

Can you estimate when this will be available? Keep in mind that I rely on
screen reader software as a blind member.
