I read on this list a while back that Microsoft listed on their website that Office 2011 for Mac was accessible with VoiceOver, even though it clearly is not. So maybe that’s y the Commission thinks that it is accessible.
I’ve found this to be a fairly common situation in the work environment, where large suppliers of enterprise software advertise their apps as accessible, so business and government buy them, when in fact the accessibility is half-baked at best. It would be good if there was a recognised body internationally (e.g. AppleVis) that could provide certification of accessibility with particular screen readers. Companies could submit their apps to this organisation for accessibility testing and certification, and advertise if they get the certification, and consumers could know whether the claims to accessibility were self-proclaimed accessibility or certified accessibility. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
