Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com and screen readers
Unfortunately, I have. I have written many E-mails and made calls about their Amazon Cloud Player and difficulties in downloading purchased music. As a result, I refuse to purchase digital music from them. I don't know if any improvements have been made recently or not, but having a phone number in reach is an improvement. I have explored web sites too numerous to mention in which contact information is extremely hard to find or to act upon. I will note that I have ordered other things on Amazon and Kindle successfully. I ordered an item I couldn't use, and they were very helpful with the return. -Original Message- From: rosecomb...@cox.net Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2018 11:48 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com and screen readers If I actually have to call Amazon it isn't accessible.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com and screen readers
Here's why I had found that Amazon phone number to be helpful. For several weeks I had been attempting to purchase a single edition of a newspaper from the site. The radio buttons were such that they would trigger prematurely, causing me to purchase the incorrect edition. For three weeks, I called that number, requested a refund for having purchased the wrong newspaper, explained the problem as best I could, and politely suggested, please please, this problem must be fixed. It was fixed after my repeated phone calls. Whenever accessibility is broken, This is not an ideal situation, but at least they eventually fixed the problem with purchasing single edition newspapers. -Original Message- From: rosecomb...@cox.net Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2018 11:48 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com and screen readers If I actually have to call Amazon it isn't accessible.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com
I shop on the Amazon site quite a bit and generally have no trouble even though I use Firefox instead of IE since the security is better according to computer experts. But I have found that the Amazon app on my iPhone is extremely accessible and seems to sync with my cart on the computer. I find it easier to reorder items using the order list on the phone since it is a continuous list instead of having items grouped into the separate orders. If I actually place the order on the phone it uses the fingerprint to sign in which is handy.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com
I've used the Amazon returns page, and as usual, don't find any problems with the controls, etc. Given that there are so many iterations of JAWS version, operating systems, video card/drivers, IE versions, and user settings, it's no wonder that we users often have drastically different experiences with the same web site.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com
Gene, I hope I never have your experience with Amazon.com. For whatever reason, I find the standard site completely accessible, and don't plan to use any other version. I'm using IE11 and don't have your experience with unlabeled buttons. Don't know what to suggest, but hope you can ultimately find a solution.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
The command is, insert spacebar followed by the letter R. Type in the item you are looking for and then tab one time. Type the letter A for Amazon and press enter. This will bring up 5 search results for that product. It gives you a short description and the price. If you want more information about one of the results or you want to purchase it, just press enter on the name and it takes you to Amazon so you can purchase it or see the reviews on that item and also get more information about it. I just find it to be quick and easy.

There is a work around for it. But first, let me explain what causes this, at least what caused the problems for me and how to fix it. When you use the screen reader optimized version of amazon.com, I believe it puts a cookie on your computer. The cookie tells the browser to default to that site. This in turn screws with the research-it feature because it is expecting the main site, not the screen reader optimized version. Hence, you get "press escape to close results viewer" with no results. The fix is to delete cookies. Then, try doing the research-it function and it should work. If you are signed into an account, I'd suggest signing out first, close the browser, then delete the cookies. As a side note, under advanced in internet options, I have it set to not save encrypted pages to disk and to empty temporary internet files when the browser is closed.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
Greg, Yes, that's why I use it, as well. It's an easy way to drill down to one or two specific product offerings, especially when the search term is vague or all-encompassing. For example when I put in "APC UPS" to look for an uninterruptable power source, I was given a list of 5 of their models, each with a different power capacity, along with pricing. Cant get much better than that unless you go to a Tag It site or a comparison shopping site.

This is a known issue that our development team is aware of and working on. It's possible Amazon is doing some work on the page that's impacting this issue.

There is a work around for it. But first, let me explain what causes this, at least what caused the problems for me and how to fix it. When you use the screen reader optimized version of amazon.com, I believe it puts a cookie on your computer. The cookie tells the browser to default to that site. This in turn screws with the research-it feature because it is expecting the main site, not the screen reader optimized version. Hence, you get "press escape to close results viewer" with no results. The fix is to delete cookies. Then, try doing the research-it function and it should work. If you are signed into an account, I'd suggest signing out first, close the browser, then delete the cookies. As a side note, under advanced in internet options, I have it set to not save encrypted pages to disk and to empty temporary internet files when the browser is closed. Hope this information is helpful. Shane ps: I just tried the research-it function with amazon and it works.

It's an easy way to drill down to one or two specific product offerings, especially when the search term is vague or all-encompassing. For example when I put in "APC UPS" to look for an uninterruptable power source, I was given a list of 5 of their models, each with a different power capacity, along with pricing. Cant get much better than that unless you go to a Tag It site or a comparison shopping site.

When I am looking for a particular product on Amazon I like the uncluttered simple interface of research it. It will list five products that match my search criteria along with the price and when I see one I am interested in I click on it and it takes me to the item on Amazon's web site. I too use the amazon web site often as well but it's nice to have the research option especially when I am in a hurry to get info on a particular product.

Using JAWS 16 with Windows 7, I have no trouble either navigating the Amazon.com site or making purchases. And for those who find the regular Amazon.com site somewhat cluttered or difficult to navigate, there is always the accessible version which is optimized for screen readers. The trouble with Research It is that when a web site is modified, Research It often no longer works well with that site, if at all. Although the Research It feature was useful and convenient when it was originally introduced, many users are now reporting problems with it, and FS should considerdropping it from future releases of JAWS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
Don't blame Research It. It worked for me yesterday, and today it's not. I've changed nothing on my computer, neither JAWS nor Internet Explorer. I suspect that Amazon has changed something with their API on the web site that has resulted in the current problem -- just as those using MLB had problems some time back. It's all due to the underlying web sites changing something so that Research It can no longer get the information.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
exactly! that's why researchit will always work one day and not the next. Legend has it that on Thursday 9/17/2015 08:22 PM, Dave Carlson said: Don't blame Research It. It worked for me yesterday, and today it's not. I've changed nothing on my computer, neither JAWS nor Internet Explorer. I suspect that Amazon has changed something with their API on the web site that has resulted in the current problem -- just as those using MLB had problems some time back. It's all due to the underlying web sites changing something so that Research It can no longer get the information.
