Hi, about 4 years ago Netflix was very useable with WE. Then, they changed
up their site to make it more attractive to sighted folk. I had been using
Netflix for several months and was able to search, browse, and read the
descriptions of the movies, but after the "improvements" I was no longer
able to do so. I called Netflix several time and was basically told that
"not many "unsighted" people use netflix anyway.... With our "watered down"
ADA laws it will probally be a long time before anything get done to any of
these Mega" big sites.

Hi Mark: I just opened netflix and turned off browse mode and while I could
only tab around the links I did manage to do a search, read links for the
resultent movies and click on one and tab to a play button. I didn't play
it, too early but it looks like this might be a very crude, but perhaps
useful, way to get around in Netflix which is not very accessible with any
screen reader as far as I could tell.
Isnt the Department Of Justice suppose to be starting to enforce
accessibility for major commercial websites?
Anyway, is there a way to read the various headings and other text as well
as the descriptions of movies while in browse mode?
For now, at least, it looks like I can find something and play it but there
are many shows I don't know anything about and if there are popup
descriptions about them as you arrow over or link over them that would be
nice indeed.
Later and thanks for the pointer on trying to use an otherwise totally
inaccessible, or at least useable, site.

Have you tried turning off Browse Mode when working with the Netflix
website? In my experience, doing so helps provide better access to the
interactive elements on the page.

It is not much better with other screen readers but with one I can at
least
get around a little and get some things to work.
If you figure out anything at all with WindowEyes and Netflix let me know
but for now I have to use another reader for the site \to watch movies and
tv shows.

Hi, Folks. I just got a subscription to Netflix and briefly was up on
the Website. Does anyone on this list know how to efficiently navigate
around this site? Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao
