I spoke to Netflicks today and talked to them as well. I've also tested
this on my Macbook and Voiceover can't read the titles either, it does
something similar to what Jaws does (say WEMovie or something similar).
NVDA reads blank links and Window Eyes just skips over them. According
to the guy on the phone, you're supposed to hover your mouse over the
graphics of the titles and then a popup comes up reading what it is?
What kind of moron over there in their web development department
thought that up. Even if it looks nice, I can't imagine that being very
helpful for even a sighted person to use. It isn't a problem on the IOS
application that is it reads normally, but that has its own share of
issues which I'll not get in to here. Is there a way to script Window
Eyes to read pop-up text or to bring the mouse to the current location
of the web pointer so it could be read?

Hi Steve,
If you go to the watch instantly page and click on a catigory such as
comedy, drama etc, the click on the "see all" link. Right after you
hear the Previous, page numbers, and next link you shoud be reading
the movie titles. That used to be true but now the movie titles are
imbedded in a picture that WE doesn't even know is there. Jaws reads
"wi player" and if you use the mouse keys in jfw you can read the titles.

Tony,
Would you describe the problem? I didn't find the difficulty when I
took a real quick look, and would would be helpful to know where the
largest difficulties
are. Thanks.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Hi,
I did talk to the folks at netflix. About all you can do is call them
and ask them to forward the â¬Saccesibilityâ¬� issue to their
research department. The
more calls they get the more likely they are to fix it.
Netflix 866 716 0414

Keep posting until you find out what is going on. Netflix is about my
only entertainment these days and it is getting nasty indeed.

Hi Cory and all,
I just spoke with netflix and I have a address that will get you back
to the old UI. This will work at least for the time being.
http://www.netflix.com/WiHome?fcld=true
Any of you who are using netflix with a screen reader I urge you to
call them at 866 716 0414
The gentleman I spoke to was very nice and forwareded the information
on to the research department. The more people that bring this issue
to their
attention the better.
