		<description><![CDATA[Finding accessibility add-ons for Firefox can be tricky. There is no add-on category for accessibility. Different searches yield different add-one. I have blogged about my favorite add-ons, but not everyone reads this blog. So I have put together all the accessibility related add-ons that I use inot one &#8216;collection&#8216;, a new way to group add-ons on the official Firefox add-on site. This new collection, Accessible Firefox: Accessibility Add-ons, includes Noise, NoSquint, Accessibar and Image Zoom. You can read more about these add-ons and other internet accessibility tips on my Web Access page. Apparently, I was not the first person to think of this. There is the Low Vision collection and the Firefox Accessibility Add-ons collection as well. If you have suggestions, please share. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:Access the Web!Scroll Wheel Image ZoomFirefox ThemesAccess Firefox: Because the Internet is for everyone.Image Zoom : Firefox Add-on]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Google announced that its Book Search would be available for iPhone and other mobile device users. I like to read, so I thought I would see how it works and how accessible it is. I looked at another e-book reader, Stanza, in an earlier post, so I will look at the differences. As noted in the NY Times article on the accouncement, Google and Amazon to Put More Books on Cellphones, the key feature is the use of text rather than images. Unlike the version of Google Book Search for PCs, which displays scanned images of book pages, the mobile version simply displays text, allowing users to download printed material more quickly over wireless networks. [PC Workd also has a good summary of the announcment.] Google has done this for the same reason as Adobe does in its Reflow command, using text allows the text to be reformatted easily for different screens and devices. Using text has a great side benefit as well, making the text accessible to accessibility modifications and to screen readers. I have never been able to use Google Book Search on my computer since the images are not amenable to my color and font [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no need to take the web as it comes. Fonts too small to read, color schemes that make you squint, bright white backgrounds that scream for you sunglasses, images too small to make out. These issues can be solved. You can take control. Changing colors, fonts and image size is no longer requires a degree in computer science. It takes more that a single click of the mouse, but it can be you can make your web experience. Many of the things I will say here are echoed in the AccessFirefox.org web site. While AccessFirefox.org attempts to be universal, I will highlight here just the few things I think you will need. The first is Firefox. If you are reading this in Microsoft&#8217;s default Internet Explorer or even in Apple&#8217;s Safari, download Firefox and install it now. Firefox, which is built by volunteers and is free, allows developers to build and distribute software add-ons that allow us to customize our web experience. With just t three of these add-ons, your web experience will be transformed and your sore eyes grateful. No Squint The No Squint add-on is my personal favorite. Once installed, this extension allows you to set [...]]]></description>
