Blind people sue Target because they can't access Target's website.

<< < (4/33) > >>

knave:
Just an FYI...There are a full suites of software that essentially read out a website for the visually impared. (lol I'm p.c.)

Jaws is one and I think that Dragon is another.  I'm not sure if there is some conspiracy about naming them after critters with lots of teeth.

Where I work we have a special workstation with Jaws installed.  It allows some order as to how one can navigate the computer and the web without using the monitor.

I guess Targets site was not compatable.  It still should not be a lawsuit IMHO.

 :soapbox: im going to sue McDonalds for not making their slides big enough in the play place for adults to play in.  its discriminating against adults and i will not stand for it.


tommy:
There is no reason a blind person would ever have a need to be on a website to start with. Why would you expect to be able to use a piece of electronics that is made for people who can see?

If you want to get peoples attention for good reasons that's one thing, but this is just to lame to bother with.

At some point you will need the help of someone who can see so why not get that person to help you to start with on the site? I can't see a blind person finding something he wants on the website, then somehow making his way to the store unaided, then finding in that store what he wants on his own, then finding the register and finding what bill in his wallet is right to pay for this item and make his way home and use it.

If this site would somehow make this blind person able to do things without the help of another person then i can see it being worth something, otherwise you can go on suing every person in the world who has not made something specifically for people not able to see. That would be a huge list.

KenToad:
Why wouldn't Target just make it accessible?  It seems like a company that large would want to do that anyway.    :dizzy:

I wonder if blind people are behind it or just lawyers. I suspect it's just a bunch of lawyers looking for a payday.
