American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and CAPTCHA Issue

Caitlin McFeely from AFB Communications wrote in AFB’s blog.  CAPTCHA is giving the blind / visually impaired a problem to access the site.

But, what’s more interesting, a Facebook staff, Jeff, taken initiative to resolve this issue.

Quote:

 Michelle decided to take action and bring this and other problems to the Facebook staff. Last week, Michelle and I had the pleasure of discussing the inaccessible features of the site with Jeff, a Facebook employee that works on accessibility issues. Jeff was really responsive to our concerns and promised that his team would work hard to tackle these issues. He even hopes to set up a project timeline to keep track of the concerns and progress made.

I’m pretty much happy that Facebook concern about this kind of thing.  Keep us updated Caitlin.
