Hi all,

A few months ago, I saw reference to a project that was supposed to allow access to embedded audio players on web pages for screen reader users. I don't remember whether this thing was a set of Jaws scripts, a plugin, or even what it was called or where to find it. Does anyone know what I'm thinking of and have an URL?

Thanks,

Some info on the project I was thinking of is at the below URL:

But, this article doesn't mention how to obtain the tool, so I assume at the time, it wasn't yet available for public testing. Does anyone have further info?

Thanks,
