Jonathan, thanks for these points - they are all good ones. In this case we have concentrated mostly on visual media, but the thoughts about sound effects are well taken, and I will bear them in mind for future work. (As soon as I ahve caught up on past work... maybe better start before then) cheers Charles McCN On Thu, 24 May 2001, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: The document is overly long and complex for me to give a realistic criticism, however I do feel it is a very significant development and wish to thank you both. congratulations. ----- rather than: particularly users with cognitive disabilities could we say: people who rely on visual literacy, ie focusing on skills rather than disabilities? could we link directly to the resources ie Figure 3.2. Image of a WBGH tutorial video with captions. This will save users efforts and benefit those who rely on concrete realisations, (like me). I am not aware of the use of sound effects on the web, traffic, ice cream vendors, street musicians etc, beatnik seems to be an attempt to meet this need, perhaps we need to include some reference to this. Do current screen readers use 'standard' sound effects? Peepo will certainly be using them in the near future, as they provide very powerful cues to spatial memory, cf that dredful restart tune. jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.signbrowser.org.uk -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
