Check out this link for some information regarding Google accessibility:
http://www.google.com/accessibility/products/

Perhaps you can glean something useful from it. :)

Hi Frank

My two cents: it's not a Freedom Scientific problem, it's a Google problem. I really like GMAIL, but other things make me want to tear my hair out.

I do projects at a community technology center where a lot of our customers are people with disabilities. We do not have a giant budget for accessibility testing. If our most screen reader dependent user cannot use something, we do not adopt it. I see from the footer info that you work for some kind of similarly gifted organization. I blogged all over the place about it. I did not take time to talk to Google but I will certainly TRY at some point to tell tehm if they really want to be a serviceable mass market product they need to incoorporate accessibility through and not have it come and go on who knows whose whim.

There. End of tirade. Probably I should go eat lunch and think about rephrasing but I am clicking send first!

Best
