Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot Released! - Accessibility Release Notes

[Mgr. Janusz Chmiel]

Dear syr,
Yes, You are having right, FLASH objects are not accessible with Orca, 
The best accessibility support on The world of opensource screen readers 
is now with NVDA and Gecko related WEB browsers, such as Seamonkey, 
because some WEB pages with Adobe flash objects are not accessible with 
NVDA even while using Windows INternet Explorer version 9. So Gecko is 
enabling to get some accessibility information from WEB pages with Adobe 
flash player objects.
Unfortunately, if there are many buttons and WEB site developer will not 
assign The names of Those buttons, The users will hear button.
There is also a very interesting think for discussion. Many free WEBINAR 
services are unfortunately using Flash objects, screen reader is often 
speaking only embedded objects and if user will activate some of those 
embedded objects, screen reader will speak only words empty line, empty 
line.
Unfortunately, i do not know about WEBINAR service accessible for 
visually impaired users, The best awailable accessibility WEBINAR 
compromise was The
www.dimdim.com
But this service is now not offering even trial service for making WEBINAR.
Teamwiever is also offering some WEBINAR capabilities, Yes, but it is 
not truly WEBINAR, because WEB browser is not used. I have discussed 
with Teamwiever developer to support focusable object type for 
establishing chat, The editable editbox with chat text, this is The 
focusable object.

WEBINAR services are good possibility for visually impaired users for 
job opportunity, but if too many flash objects without assignement will 
be used, visually impaired users are helpless and can be only passive 
members of The WEBINARS.
