Aaah, another claim to be definitive. This one seems to cover most of what I know, and everything I know that would be relevant for the articles. Just a few thoughts to add: It would have been nice to have a mention of the work done in WAI on Authoring Tools as a specific area - the point is clearly made in the article that this is a critical need. The new SMIL 2 format (the new RealPlayer claims to support it) allows for audio descriptions to be turned on and off seperate from captioning (in SMIL 1 you could have one or the other). But this is newer than the article, although the drafts of the specification have been available for more than a year (all 600-odd pages <grin/>). CloseView is not a brilliant tool, but it does allow for changing the colours to white-on-black. Sort of. It actually does a colour reverse, which can be pretty odd for non "black on white" pages. And finally Home Page Reader isn't a screen reader - it is only a browser, so isn't useful for doing other stuff. cheers chaals On Sat, 6 Oct 2001, Joe Clark wrote: of articles in Tidbits <http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbser=1189>.
