I could not find a button one or any other button on that page.

Can you tell us what you did to get the video playing?

Thanks.

Victor,
There is a "Flash Movie Start" button. If you arrow down once, Jaws 
should say "Play video." Just press enter or the press the spacebar there.

Hi Victor & Betsy,
First of all, I was wrong about the title of the show. It's, "USA Today."

 Below is text on the page that leads to the words, "Flash Movie Start"
label above the button: 



"Talk about pushing the limits of technology--Dan York of Disruptive
Telephony noted this 
extraordinary video from the USA's Today programme about Ed Gallager, a man
who hasn't let blindness slow him down. Using Skype with a headset and
webcam-mounted
helmet (and I assume a mini PC with 3G internet connection mounted on his
person), he's been able to have a friend remotely help him go shopping,
sailing,
and even ride a bike by himself. He's currently developing the system so
that many more blind people will be able to use it. What a great use for
Skype--check
out the video:

Hi Al & all,

Here's the link to the segment on the show:

And here's the link to their Web site:

It's all interesting, but it has a long way to go.

The link below goes to a video segment of "The Today Show." The segment is
about a unique application of Skype for the blind.

The Play button is the one JAWS announced as the unlabeled button number
one.

Here is the link:
