After viewing and listening to a screenreader demonstration video by Victor Tsaran, I strongly suggest that readers visit www.last-child.com to observe first hand how blind or vision impaired persons experience the internet. Here is my blog comment left for Victor concerning his video:

Victor,

Your accessibility video was especially interesting and informative. As a website developer I downloaded and tested a screenreader in May 2007 in an ongoing effort to educate my small business clients and others to accessibility issues. Not being vision impaired, using a screenreader was daunting so doing the test run gave me a greater appreciation for the need to educate people about this subject. I’ve written accessiblility posts with advice and another with a freeware review on my blog at the following links:

Advice for testing websites for accessibility and Review of Thunder freeware screenreader.

Thank you for this great introduction to accessibility and screenreaders.

Jim

P.S. A new post and backlink to your video will be online later this evening.

Once my readers experience this must see screenreader video demo, I believe you will be very impressed with Victor Tsaran and how efficiently he navigates the internet. Very complex websites are easier to explore if the designer uses techniques that accommodate handicapped persons, vision impaired and others.
