Google Accessible Search Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-about-one-for-people-like-me dept.

Philipp Lenssen writes "Google today released Accessible Search, a Google Labs product aiming to rank higher pages which are optimized for blind users. Google asks you to adhere to the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines if you want to make sure your pages are accessible (and thus, rank better on Google Accessible Search). I wrote a small tool to compare results of default and accessible results."

    Well, I assume blind people use text-readers as one of their tools; So this pretty much would make any Flash-based site useless.

    You do not know what you are talking about. Period.

    One has been able to make accessible flash for at at least three years. I was too lazy to look for older citations. That was flash 6; 8 has far more accessibility stuff from what I understand.

    Please STFU. TYVM. HTH, HAND.
