It lets me access material that I could not use before.  Previously such

Any site that uses the alt-text tags and which avoids frames

ibm.net because my screen reader cannot make sense of the frames
also ( do not remember the name of site) any site that is too lazy to use
alt-text tags and especially when it uses graphics as an icon for a link.
the screen reader just says:
link
link
link
link
but I have no way of knowing what it links to and it can be frustrating
going to link after link just to find out basic info

Gave examples above

Yes. . but the newer screen reader like jaws provide extra information
which usually helps

>6. Some Web pages contains video clips which is not accessible to the you.
>Does these sites provide alternate means to represent the data ?

The video is accessable to the blind provided that much of the content is
carried in the sound track of the video .. . people talking.  But, if
important content is purely visual and there is no description, then, it is
a problem.  video is usually MORE of a problem to deaf
>
>7. Please comment on effectiveness of  the tools you use to access the Web ?

The problem is not so much the tool I use to access the web as it is in the
way the site has used html . html has features built into it that make it
very friendly most of the time if the webmaster bothers to use them.
Frames and forms are inherent problems, but the new jaws is a help and so
is the browser, WebSpeak.

>8. What is your general comment on the accessibility of the current World
>Wide Web?

Fabulous and horrible depending on he web site.  It let's me access 'print'
materials I could never access before.  I can read newspapers and books by
myself.  Some interface pages are needlessly difficult to navigate and that
is frustrating because it is someone's stupidity and not necessary!

>9. What do you think should be done to made Web more  accessible  to you?

I think the answers are inherent in my comments above
