[SUSPECTED SPAM] Re: [nvda] Problem With Submit Button On My Banking Site

Ervin, Glenn #48192 Although this concept of using multiple screenreaders is okay for those of us who can do that, but if it comes to that as generally accepted practice, then the majority of users are left behind.

Gene #48198 That's largely because of poor training, however. Not for everything, but for a lot of what people do, you can learn perhaps ten or fifteen commands that are different for a different screen-reader and do a lot of what you could do before. Most of what people do uses Windows or program commands. a different screen-reader may use different screen review commands and a different command for read title bar and certain other commands, but a lot of what people do would be the same because a lot of what is done doesn't use screen-reader commands.

Carlos #48208 Is it not the responsibility of those who read these post to decide if they want to click on unfamiliar web links? If the list is monitored by moderators is it not their responsibility to make sure that all posts that contain web links be checked before allowing such posts on the list? It should be mandatory that all posts on the list which contain web links be thoroughly checked out before being allowed on the list. On more than one occasion posts have gotten on this list which should have been checked out by moderators before having ever been allowed on the list! There should be some kind of filtering rules set up to make sure that posts that have web links be kept out until the moderators checked them out. List moderators need to look at all the changes that are happening all over the internet to monitor content before it ever gets to anyone's browsers! And yes! I know that I will be called into the principal's office for having posted this publicly on the list for everyone to read! However, we all need to ask the moderators to keep the list as uncluttered as possible! On 9/26/2018 8:04 AM, Gene wrote: That's largely because of poor training, however.

Gene #48243 It may not be hijacking. It may be that the message was placed in this thread because the wrong thread was replied to by accident. As far as the suggestion that all links be approved, that is not possible if, for no other reason, than that lists don't have a provision for requiring messages with links to be approved while allowing those without links to be sent without moderator approval. I also think that members should be responsible for determining what they do or do not click on. People should be responsible for what they do.If they are not allowed to be responsible, how will they learn to be responsible and to follow proper safety rules of Internet use for themselves. Lists are not nannies. Sometimes, an unfortunate mistake causes someone to really start taking their own safety seriously. If they aren't following safe practices on lists in terms of their Internet behavior, then they are likely not following safe practices in general. Since either the wrong thread on this list or perhaps a thread on an entirely different list was intended to be replied to, we can't discuss whatever links are being objected to. As far as I know, there aren't any objectionable links in this thread. I am discussing my views of this matter but I am not moderating in this case.

Ervin, Glenn #48265 Gene, All it takes is one element that is a show stopper for someone, and that can cause them to stop using a screenreader and give up using a computer. I have been a computer user and teacher since the days of DOS, and I have spent hours stuck on a page because of inaccessible pages that have no work-around, unless you come to a list like this to find out some obscure technique that happens to work. It sure seems like more and more of this is happening, and it is difficult for screenreaders to keep up. I don’t agree with your assertion that it is just a matter of training. I think with this most recent trend, we will see less and less Blind people being able to access pages. I don’t know the solution, but I see a bad trend here. I hope I’m wrong about the trend.

Accessibility, overall, has done nothing but get better and better in the decades I've been around that issue and we now have every major commercial operating system maker building-in screen reader technology. Teaching at the college level (and, possibly, even earlier) related to web design discusses accessibility as a design principle, which it certainly didn't when I earned my computer science degree.

Rosemarie Chavarria #48274 Glen, I think you might be right. A friend of mine was telling me one time that it may get to the point where we'll be totally locked out from using the computer. I agree with you about the training. If things are constantly changing, then what good is it to have all that training? It would be just a waste of time.

Ervin, Glenn #48275 As far as desktop systems, I suspect Microsoft is going to move away from them after Windows 10, and desktop systems will be left to Linux. I think Microsoft will simply sell security upgrades to Windows 7 and 10, with 10 being their last official desktop style operating system. Thankfully Linux has accessibility built into the main distributions. If we see Windows discontinuing for desktop systems, we may hope for the developers of NVDA to move over to the Open source Linux platform.

Jackie #48276 W/all due respect, training is not a waste of time, at least if it's the sort of training that teaches basic principles & not simply rote memorization, ie, shake hands, roll over, speak, etc. That's just performing commands on cue, & that sort of training is indeed worthless. When I did adaptive tech--& admittedly, it was a long time ago--I actually used to encourage my students to get into trouble, ie, they would check w/me about a keystroke to press, &, knowing it was the wrong 1, I'd tell them to go ahead. My rationale was that they were going to get themselves into situations where they were confronted w/stuff I hadn't taught them, & they needed to understand the basic principles of how to cope w/the unexpected. That may at 1st blush sound really cruel, but those that made it thru expressed that was the 1 thing they really appreciated about my approach, ie, that I believed they could recover on their own by using the tools they'd been taught. Accessibility, IMO, has overall greatly improved. The use of mobile devices, where screen real estate is important, thereby eliminating a lot of the big gawdy banners & sliders etc, has improved things, as has legislation in the developed world mandating accessibility. I recall when Windows was completely inaccessible to us--now we can basically install it independently. So I'd also disagree w/the gloom-&-doom naysayers who think we'll someday never be able to use a computer. The truth is, we have more options now than we've ever had. I recall when Apple was totally inaccessible, for example, & when we couldn't use a cell phone to do anything but basic calling. Change is a constant, & screenreading technology will have to evolve w/it. On the other hand, there are now accessibility guidelines in place for many technologies, which there weren't in the last century. Overall, I think we're in better shape than we've ever been. Truthfully, I wish I'd been born into this century, as I think, at least from a technology perspective, things will overall only improve, as a general rule. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 9/27/18, Rosemarie Chavarria <knitqueen2007@...> wrote: Glen, I think you might be right.

Gene #48277 I didn't say that this isn't occurring on the Internet. I haven't used enough sites that are out of my usual use to say. I am making a general statement about blind people using only one screen-reader, as so many do. This is the result of poore training. I wasn't refering specifically to or only to the Internet. I was discussing how so many blind people don't realize the advantages to using more than one screen-reader on the Internet or elsewhere. If blind people knew what I said in my last message in the thread, they might be more willing to try other screen-readers so that when one screen-reader doesn't do something well, they might be able to do the thing better or well using another screen-reader.

Gene #48280 Let's examine an example of worthless training as opposed to good training. Years ago, Send Space had a download link. If people were tought something such as to use the links list and look for the link that said download, then what would happen when Send Space changed it from a link to a button? If they were just taught by rote, they would likely be unable to use the page. If they had been taught to look at and understand web pages and how to find things, they would see that the link was now a button and then, after they saw this, be able to go on efficiently using the page as before. How many times have I seen blind people claim that a site is no longer acccessible after it has been changed? It wasn't inaccessible after the change. Changes had been made in the site and rote memorization of the old layout didn't work any longer.

Ervin, Glenn #48282 Gene, Things change that proficient screenreader users cannot adapt easily to as well. For example, I did not know about menus containing hidden options. So I went to a page, and I am looking for a download button. I jump through looking for a download button with the letter B, and that does not work. I list links, and press D and find no download button, nor arrowing through them finds anything relating to a download option. So I use the find command looking for the word down and find nothing. Without knowing that there is a new thing where content is different and there is something new, I can see where someone who is a casual user will find a page inaccessible. You look at computer usage like all screenreader users should be at the level of the folks on this list, and the truth is, most are not, and will never be that proficient, so for accessibility to be a reality, things need to improve, and become more intuitive. Having a button that says menu closed is easily overlooked. Perhaps the sighted have some graphics there indicating what is hidden in that closed menu, but there is no description to us, we have to know to open the closed menus and see if that gives us what we want.

Ervin, Glenn #48283 Gene, The level of training you are referring to is either unaffordable on their limited income, or beyond their interest level. Remember, even the average requirements of using a screenreader is more than most sighted folks would learn to use the computer. If they cannot touch what they want or click on it with a mouse, it is beyond what the majority of sighted folks would be willing to learn, and why should the Blind be any different? We are forced to learn stuff that many would not even consider if they did not have to. Believe me, I’m in the real world seeing newly Blinded folks all the time, and only the most highly motivated of them are interested in learning to use a screenreader. I find it disappointing, but that is the truth.
