Also maybe there can be a campaign about improving communication access for deafblind people within Australia ?

Hello Heather,
Yes, I understand. Sometimes those of us who have English as first language use words which don't translate well to Auslan or other languages. You are right, it is something else we have to think about. How to say things using 
clear language.

hello all

yeah BCA may have. If we think we would like to write one document due to
deafblind poor english. They sometimes hard to write to explain  due to
their first langauge Auslan or other low level of english writing.   the
document can be written on bhealf of deafblind community. only a thought. 

I willlook at BCA wetsite if I have time.

Thanks Stephen and others

Cheers Heather

Hello Heather, Peter and others,

The idea of a document explaining how to make websites and documents
easier for deafblind to read is a good one. It may take some effort as
some of us have low vision, others are blind, and some have a degree
of hearing. Some of the work may already have been done for us. I
think Blind Citizens Australia (BCA) have some policies on their
website suggesting how web pages should be designed to make them
accessible to people who are blind. There are likely to be other
useful documents about accessible website design and how to produce
accessible documents at other places on the web also.

Regards
Stephen

Hello Stephen
Thank you for that. I will look if it is readiable on my braille display. 

My suggestion if we make one document regards what problems that
Deafblind people have like PDF, tables, colours,  etc then we
deafblind can keep the same document to send to any website or
agencies to tell them  to make awareness.  We need to tell the world
we deafblind are intelligent, can learn any computer communication
but we need fair accessiable on any technology communciation. Maybe
Claire Telleson can help with the written document.  It would save
our time to write write write write all prblem but one document we
cankeep in file

and send out whenever.


Wha tyou think

Cheers Heather

Hi Trudy, Heather and Carleeta,

I agree, sending feedback to the website developers to let them know
PDF is not always accessible to everyone and Word format would help
also is a good idea.

For now, I have run the document through a PDF to Word converter and
attach the file I got from it. I don't think it converted perfectly,
but it does look readable using JAWS.

Regards
Stephen

Hi Trudy and all


I wonder if any deafblind with braille reader have problem open
PDF format.
if yes, we need to be fair to everyone to have same format like
word doc.
It is sometimes not good for me and maybe others did not read PDF
and miss out reading.

thanks Heather
