Point well taken. Obviously, Audyssey has always been primarily
concerned with games for the blind and low vision, and that will
remain our primary focus. Really, what I said earlier was a throw away
comment and too much has been made of it as my actual meaning and
intent got lost somewhe
Hi Dark,
Submitting articles for newspapers and other publications such as
magazines is the same. It is the author who is responsible for his or
her spelling and proper use of grammar. Although, the editor may make
corrections or point out errors that need to be made before the
submission is accep
Hi Charles,
Well, yes, but I think Dark's point was that the author's rough draft
should attempt to be spell checked and proofread for errors before
being submitted to the editor therefore making the editors work a bit
easier. I know in my own case whenever I write a document in
LibreOfficeOrca al
Actually charlse, for editing articles for academic publication at least, I
can tell you for certain that they don't!
Editers are responsable for length, content, suggestions of alterations, but
spelling and grammar is held to be the responsability of the author, as is
layout and references.
The job of an editor is, well, to edit. This includes spelling and grammar
if necessary.

Fair enough tom, that sounds like an idea, I just wasn't sure how much you
were going to go into this, after all while I completely and absolutely
agree that looking outside vi access is a good idea, at the same time it
does need to be part of the considderation.
Just to give an example, when
Hi Dark,
That's precisely what I am talking about. Having a page where people
can look up largely universally accessible games, or stating in a
review that game x is almost universally accessible. That is basically
all I was getting at to begin with.
Cheers!

Hi Dark,
Ah, that makes sense, and I agree that the person submitting the piece
should do his or her best to spell check and proofread the document
before submitting it to the editor for final editing and inclusion in
a publication.

Hi Tom.
Well if in effect what we're saying is that textual games such as
gamebooks, brouser games etc are accessible to anyone with an alternative to
read print even if they cannot hear, why not just have a page somewhere on
the site saying as much or note it in appropriate reviews of games.
I don't see why we couldn't do that! :)

Hi Kara.
What I meant is it is unfair to lumber an editer with the job of
spellchecking every single article. An editer certainly can check for
content or length or whatever, but just the dull mechanics of getting words

Heck, if you submitted an academ
Hi Darren,
Well, that certainly would be a start. Of course, it would be nice to
edit them and have a uniform introduction and ending for the Audyssey
podcasts etc.
Cheers!

Hi Shaun,
Sigh...I think you are making a big deal out of nothing. There are
always solutions for the things you seem to think are barriers to
developing high quality accessible games.
Let's take licensing. If a developer is only interested in developing
games based on trademarked and licensed ch
