[nfbcs] Comcast

[Steve Jacobson]

Have you guys tried navigating the page with the Virtual cursor off?  There are getting to be more and more controls on web pages 
that behave somewhat normally with the Window-Eyes Browse Mode or the JFW Virtual Cursor turned off.  Screen readers are going to 
have to handle this better soon.  I have even noticed that some of the controls on certain Google web pages sort of come to life 
if the screen reader's intervention is reduced, but never quite enough to make everything work really well that way, either.  And 
of course, they could well be controls that only respond to mouse clicks.  I simply find it harder to be sure I understanding what 
is really happening on some of these pages.

We did have a representative of Comcast at our NFBCS meeting last July, Tom Wlodkowski, Vice President, Comcast Accessibility, and 
it does sound as though Comcast is trying to do something in a number of areas regarding accessibility.  This would seem like the 
kind of thing that could be addressed fairly easily.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
