Good for you! In my case , I have to research as much as I could and keep trying for things I could not find a solution for at the moment. It's true there are lot of misconceptions re the accessibility and it seems a foreign word to the sighted people and I can feel a general reluctance towards it. -----Original Message----- From: Mobile.accessindia [mailto:mobile.accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Ajay Minocha Sent: Saturday, December 17, 2016 7:43 PM To: Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones and Tabs. Subject: Re: [Mobile.AI] (AI) My introduction to this wonderful group!
Hi, At times reaching out directly to the developers solves the issue. In RBS, I found the Bloomberg developers quite interested towards accessibility and they though are working at their own pace yet have given me few sollutions which now enable me to use a Bloomberg terminal as rapidely as a sighted person does. There's some work going on the internal Intranet so I hope it would also become screen reader friendly in couple of months. A lot of devs have positive attitude towards accessibility but they are missguided at times.
