WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: June 10, 2002 Jackie (Dive Into Mark) -- "Like the majority of blind people, Jackie knows very little Braille. She has a Braille label maker to mark her CDs, but she can not read Braille books, because they are written in grade 2 Braille, which she has never learned. When she shops and plays online, she uses the latest version of JAWS, a screen reader that integrates with Internet Explorer on Windows. JAWS uses an advanced text-to-speech synthesizer to read web sites aloud." (Comments: JAWS for Windows.)

Sit a designer down in front of his web site and have him give you a tour. Get him to "talk it up" about how great the design is. Then take him back to the front page, load JAWS, and put a shopping bag over his head. Have him show you around again. Alternatively, you can disconnect the monitor, but the shopping bag is more amusing. It works for a group presentation too - either turning off the overhead projector, or having a lot of shopping bags on hand. Posted by: Jack on June 12, 2002 06:21 PM
