Hi all, i was wondering if any of you go to the effort of contacting 3rd party
application manufacturers to raise the issue of accessibility? E.g. If you like
a app and want to use it but find that it's not accessible, would you contact
the maker and complain or just leave it and accept that you can't use the cool
app. Well i am the type of person who will contact them and make them aware of
screen readers and accessibility so i was thinking, if more of you also do it
we should ask Codefactory to compile a doccument outlining the requirements for
a application to be accessible with Mobile speak. If a doccument like this is
available it would make contacting and explaining to these companies a lot
easayer and i think those who's not contacting these companies now, will start
doing it once it's easayer. I would like to hear your views on this, we are
very lucky to have screen readers like MS with very little short comings on the
phone platforms however there's a short coming with 3rd party apps and with the
mobile world moving over to the use of more and more 3rd party apps, it's
impossible for MS to keep up to date so I think it's time we start helping
them, by helping them we'll also help our selves.
