[stylist] Toot Toot- CLEAR DIRECTIONS for YOU

Mon Jul 1 00:45:25 UTC 2013

It's obviously something JAWS isn't programmed to recognize. Since you
need to click on the book cover, it's a picture, which JAWS doesn't
recognize, and there's no corresponding link or graphic link that JAWS
will recognize. Clearly the Apple voice-over has been programmed to
recognize some kind of coding that JAWS doesn't. I'm not familiar with
how the Apple voice-over works, but I think it may be more flexible, to
an extent, than JAWS. One of our techy people may be able to better
answer this.

It is something that Jaws isn't seeing or finding, that the Voiceover on
the Mac is picking up.

So, I am thinking that the accessibility problem is not amazon, but JAWS
that does not allow you to access it on a PC, but does on a MAC?

>> Lynda,
>>
>> As I said, I'm pretty well aquainted with searching on Amazon. Part 
>> of the issue is that you're not using terms JAWS does. For instance, 
>> you say, "Near the search bar, designate your search for "books" on 
>> the list to the left of the bar." What this means is that there is a 
>> combo box you can select the category "Books" to find the anthology, 
>> and the edit field is where you type the name of the book. Your 
>> directions are based on how it's done visually and not with JAWS. The

>> terminology is different with JAWS.
>>
>> Actually, you can use the H key to navigate the search, and the first

>> book that pops up is the current BOE anthology. You can press enter 
>> on this title to open up more details as well as to purchase the 
>> book.
>>
>> Nonetheless, it doesn't appear this accessible with JAWS. I've had my

>> hubby double check too to make sure I'm not crazy. There's no link, 
>> button, check box, combo box-- nothing stating what you provide in 
>> your directions. If there was in deed a link titled such, when 
>> pulling up links list with the insert and F7 keys, it would appear, 
>> but it does not. Doing a control F to search for anything titled this

>> doesn't bring anything up either.
>>
>> I think part of the problem is that your directions are for anyone 
>> doing it visually, and it would appear it's not accessible with JAWS 
>> to access the options you list.
>>
>> I'm pretty good with using JAWS and my computer, but my hubby is not 
>> only extremely well-versed with the tool, he's taught JAWS and once 
>> had his certification in the program. So I'm confident he knows what 
>> he's talking about. We've both spent time looking the page up and 
>> down with no luck. And from what he can tell visually, there doesn't 
>> seem to be any links above the picture as you state. He's sees links 
>> for an advanced search, new releases and New York Times bestsellers 
>> but nothing you list.
>>
>> When using a mouse, there possibly could be inaccessible menus and/or

>> dialogue boxes that open up, but JAWS finds nothing you have listed. 
>> And like I said, when pulling up the links list after finding the 
>> book, there's no links you say should be there.
>>
>> If any JAWS user has better luck, please let me know.
