Lectorra + 508 + JAWS = Disapointment
June 21, 2007 12:00 AM
So, here I'm adding to the list:- Lectora inexplicable use of fixed font sizes- having to jump through hoops to add "skip to content" functionality- generally, only being able to define a tabbing sequence by the actual relative location of the icons- how HTML published pages get a title (in the browser's title bar) that matches the actual file name rather than what was set for the project.- no apparent support for accelerator keys...These things may very well be difficult to achieve in a "rapid authoring" tool but it is also difficult explaining to a client who has chosen to use Lectora (because of claims of Section 508 compliancy) why their courses are not playing well enough with Jaws for their people, who need assistive tecnnology, to be able to use them.And to think that several years ago I was building screen reader and keyboard accessible content that had liquid layouts with a free text editor.Andrew Poulos
