Steve Lee :: Blog :: 2 great accessibility successes

November 19, 2008

I just tried out the  Webvisum Firefox add on and web service as I've been telling people about it and thought I really aught to have a bit of a clue. And you know what? I'm really impressed, the various features for VI users are well implemented and most exciting are the community tagging and captcha solving. I tried a recaptcha which I recently setup on the Project:Possibility wiki and it works a treat, even solving a couple I could hardly work out myself. Anway I'll leave you to read a pukka review from Marco who really knows what he is talking about.

The other success may be something of a surprise to many of you. It's Apple's Out Of the Box accessibility  story on Macs as revealed by Marco in a his comparison of accessibility on the 3 main platforms.

Now we just need Apple engineers to fully engage with the Open accessibility communities so we can ensure  the great projects like Firefox have the best possible accessibility on Macs.

Come on Apple, give us a bite!
