Richard, I think your experience and that of others who apparently have no vision is instructive and important for those who have some vision to remember. If you make glowing recommendations about how wonderful and app is, keep in mind that if you have some vision that help you get past some problem, you need to point that out when saying how great an accessible something is. I have run into this in spades on other lists, where people say this or that thing is accessible. But it really isn't in the true sense of the word, i.e., everything is labeled etc. and can be used with the screen reader. People have workarounds. People label buttons. People do all sorts of things to make something usable. But when you say it is accessible out of the box, that means everything is accessible right from the get-go. Otherwise, it is important to say what workarounds and other things you had to do in order to use the app. That's just my opinion but if we don't have standards, we fall down a slippery slope and pretty soon anything that one blind person can use is accessible. And we know that's not true. Mary
