Most blind people I know use screen readers. For sighted people, they sound like a total nause; they read every word, character and symbol in whatever text area the cursor is currently sitting. But I've seen someone debug some code in Notepad using a screen reader quicker than her sighted counterparts - amazing stuff. In all, I think audioblogging is probably less accessible than text blogging. It hits a huge number of criteria in Jakob Nielsen's "Top Ten Mistakes in Web Design" The dead giveaway is that even Suw herself had to add a little disclaimer: "if you can't see this in firefox, try it in IE! As TBL says: "Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network." I can see it in firefox on this iBook, but on my linux boxes, it shows up but stays silent. Overall I have to ask what the point of audioblogging is (apart from being able to hear Suw's lovely voice). IMHO It just seems to be another technology that exists not because of a need, but because it can. -- http://www.fatsquirrel.org/bologs/veghead/
