For a blindness simulation get some screen reading software (JAWS etc) or a voice browser (PW Webspeak) and try to use the site with the monitor turned off. The user experience of some other physical disabilities may be simulated by not using the mouse at all and relying on the keyboard exclusively. These two tests can be very enlightening. -Jamie Fox -----Original Message----- From: Reidy Brown [SMTP:rbrown@blackboard.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2000 9:09 AM To: 'EASI-ED3 EASI Online Workshop: Creating Accessible HTML' Cc: Disacc@Onelist. Com; w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Subject: Testing Setup for Accessible Web Sites/Applications I am setting up a computer as an accessibility testbed for the web developers in our company. What hardware and software do I need? What are the most common setups for people with various disabilities? (I know this is a complex question, but I'd appreciate any input.) I suspect that the software version number is as important and the software type... how far back do I need to go? (Most of our users are in the higher education field.)
