WebSound - http://websound.unige.ch is a browser that is designed for blind and visually impaired users. In addition to providing speech output and very large print (synchronised to positioning in a standard graphic rendering) the browser provides access to the position within the structure, and attempts to make the layout of the page accessible to a blind user, for example to use as a preview tool with an authoring system, or for collaborative work with people who are "blindless". It has a bunch of neat features, and so might be good to look at for implementation examples. (And the developer is interested in feedback from users, like many developers) It's essentially a tiny project at the University of Geneva, based on Explorer (so it supports scripting and so on). cheers Charles -- 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)
