Hi All, There has been a rather lively discussion on this petition, both at Accessify: http://www.accessifyforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=149 and Maccessibility: http://www.maccessibility.com/ I proposed a non-speech version of JAWS: put in a page, get a "transcript" of what JAWS would have spoken. It could support all settings, or only the most common settings that real users use. This should have the advantage of reducing the learning requirements and not eroding JAWS revenue. Does Lynx already perform this function? If so, shouldn't there be an outreach effort to non-blind developers about how to use Lynx as an evaluation tool? ***** Jim Tobias Inclusive Technologies tobias@inclusive.com 732.441.0831 v/tty www.inclusive.com -----Original Message----- From: w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org [mailto:w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of John Britsios Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 6:14 PM To: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Subject: JAWSR for Windows for FREE? Lets give a try! Dear all! Not every freelancer designer, developer, can afford buying JAWS, to test the web sites they build. Therefore, see how this problem may be solved!
