Hello folks. I have Jaws and Windo-eyes. I was wondering if there is a way to get either Jaws or Window-eyes to work with Pandora.com? I realy like the web site and womeone told me I could get Pandora.com to work with Window-Eyes. It seemed like there were a lot of buttons to push and the mouse pad on Window-Eyes didn't read where I had to register or anything like that. Thanks for any help? BTW, if neither Jaws or Window-Eyes don't work with Pandora is there a web site that simeler that will? I will talk to you later.
There is a web site that is a lot better than pandorer. It is www.last.fm. The only thing is, the cliant isn't accessable. But if your willing to put up with using the site, which is accessable and is very nice, then it is a lot better. You get free downloads and you can listen to the biggist artists from all voer the world, and some that you don't know. And what's more, it's all leagal. www.last.fm
And with last.fm you can build a playlist and put it on your website or blog. It's really cool.
pandora does not seem to be making their site more accessible either. I thought they were and had contacted them but they just say so sorry the site is not completely accessible. this discussion came up on the geeks board too, I believe. I had brought the topic up.
The folowing is an email I wrote to Last.fm. I would incourage you all to do the same. We have to fix this problem when it arives. My name is Kevin Wassmer. I am a blind person trying to sign up for your site. However, I have ran in to a major optical. My scream reader does not read the words as they appear on the screen. This is because the word is in an image form instead of straight text. I would suggest you get an audio version of this feature. This will give you as a Last.fm company better publicity as a company who makes it easy for the blind to sign up. This will also make you more compliant to your future customers needs. When you have the capsha for people to type the word as it appears on the screen, and the blind can not read it with their screen readers, you are putting an invisible sign that says “No blind person allowed on your website.” I realize that us blind people can have a sited person read the word for us. But a lot of blind people such as myself Kevin Wassmer live alone and often do not have sided assistance to help us. I would appreciate it if you could take this in to consideration and do something about this. Thank you very much.
They have a capcha now? That must be recent.
yes, I brought up pandora and they are not improving at all since 2 months ago. When my computer says send error report, does it send the report to Pandora or just to my computer? Wondering since I keep getting errors when i try to change my station on Pandora from one of my preferences to the other one. Not too accessible.
sends it to microsoft.
