> So my question to the list is this: Is the use of an audio embed (with an > on/off switch) that reads the content of the web page a help or a hinderance > to accessibility? Is there an audience for this type of application? As a partial answer to your question, you may want to refer to an article written by Jeff Isom of WebAIM entitled "To Embed or Not To Embed - A Comparison of Media Player Technologies ". This can at least help you with the technicalities of the accessibility of the actual plug-ins that handle the audio.
