[Athen] Apple Safari Accessibility

[Kevin Price]

Charles,

Do you have some inside info that they are working on accessibility for
Safari?  Should we all send emails to Apple?  

Usually when they get this far in the development when they send a
widespread beta, they are just tweaking code and not adding new features.

Bear in mind that the Windows version of Safari is still a beta.

You are correct Kevin. Safari for Windows is not usable with speech. 

Shouldn't be a surprise.

I just downloaded the new Web browser Apple Safari and think it looks 

nice

visually but all my accessibility concerns are there. Just tried JAWS 

and I

hear nothing. 

Is this another slick product that left accessibility behind?
