“Accessibility is about
                             making pages that work
                             for blind people that
                             use screen readers.”

Editor's Notes

  1. Listen to the page
  2. Discuss tester that was having trouble with this particular task - “Find out the contact number for the department of X” after three minutes of trying to say the words “contact us” differently, with different inflection, the tester stopped, and asked his father for a drink of water. He looked at me and said he was sorry, that he thought he was getting tired, and that his voice recognition software wasn’t tuned into his voice as his throat was dry, and we’d been testing for a while. He was blaming himself. It was something to do with him, not the web site.
  3. The real reason the voice recognition software wouldn’t work? The alt text was wrong, so the VR didn’t select that link.
