When you finally manage to put together this minimal list Ron - that by the way across the mailing lists seems to be growing daily - I wonder if you would be willing to share it with us?

I am finding it fascinating reading what people are adding and I have to agree with one comment that you made - the difficulties that occur when developers include accessibility support into their applications but do not allow outside AT to add to the mix.

Many thanks.

Best wishes E.A.

Keyword search, string search & page search would be important for navigation & reference purposes.

Then definitely TTS needs to be included, with the ability to adjust items such as voice rate, pitch, etc. Also, the ability to sync speech with highlighting is important.

That would be good, more what I am looking for is accessibility to consum the content. Such as background color change, text to speach capability and the like. The content will not be usable with external AT in the early stages.
