I won't have real player installed on my system. It is too invasive and the interface is not particularly user friendly. Cheryl D.

The user has to have real player installed, and he has to remember the keyboard shortcuts - so far no issues. But the biggest problem I see is in an audio interface implemented this way as a bunch of audio files is that when returning to a page, it starts playing at the top again. While a traditional screen reader interface will usually continue where you left off on that page - a big difference in my opinion. Of course a screen reader will also let you navigate around the page, not just listen in prerecorded sequence. And as with most prerecorded audio, there is little chance to change the synthesizer voices. I would characterize this site more as limited "interactive radio" on the web. Regards, Phill
