We have decided to sponsor the European Accessibility Forum held on the 27th of March in Frankfurt Germany.

Web accessibility is of great importance not only for people using screen readers and other assistive technology but also for everybody else. Adopting and practicing the web standards is key to make web content accessible for more people regardless of device, browser type and operation system.

When I attended and spoke at the CSUN Conference on Disability 2009 in Los Angeles last week I had the opportunity to talk to the authors of the WCAG 2. I was glad to see that speech enabling is finally seen as enhanced accessibility, especially to make the text content more understandable. So in short; implementing a ReadSpeaker service on your website can help you to conform to some of the guidelines.

If you are attending the European Accessibility Forum in Frankfurt and would like to meet up with me, please contact info@voice-corp.com to set up a meeting.

Today I arrived in San Francisco. The whether is nice and I’m looking forward to spend the week in the Bay Area. There will be 4 days of conferencing and networking among others active in the area of innovative web development. Apart from attending the Web2.0Expo and visiting partners and customers I will try to get some time to really see the city and see what the nightlife has to offer. On Thursday I will go to the Web 2.0 Afterparty arranged by the Netvibes Team where they will launch their “Netvibes Universe”.

If you happen to be in the area and would like to have a meeting to discuss what Voice On The Web can do for you, please contact me directly at niclas@voice-corp.com.
