  • 1.  Accessibility of callouts in ePub

    Posted 29 days ago
    Has anyone looked into the ccessibility of ebooks when you use callouts
    in programlistingco?

    I just did a test that passed ACE by Daisy, but it's not clear to me how
    a screen reader would handle callouts in the real world.

    Does anyone have any experience or pointers to people who might have
    information?

    Thanks,
    Dick Hamilton

    Sorry Dick, my contacts are 20 years out of date?

    Suggest contact any of the larger orgs that support blind and partially sighted people,
    ask for a regular computer user who uses a screen readers help?

    regards
