Are there any more details with expected behavior with Google Reader
and ARIA support than what was in the recent blog postings on this?
For example with JAWS and Firefox 3 beta 4, I turned off the virtual
PC and when I pressed the question mark I heard the list of the
hotkeys read. But pressing any of those hotkeys didn't produce any
further speech. If I kept the JAWS virtual PC on, I didn't even get
this to happen.
I haven't yet tried with Firevox but will shortly.
If you heard the list of hotkeys being read, then the ARIA support is active. Have you subscribed to any feeds yet? If not, you should try using the b key to browse for feeds and subscribe to some feeds. If you are already subscribed to feeds, then try hitting the escape key to make sure you are not typing into some input field. Please let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Why isn't google reader included into the google-account yet? I e.g. added in my webclips (gmail) some feeds, but these feeds aren't automatically imported into the google reader I consulted with the same google-account. Thanks for the info. Best, Katty

I'm not sure why this didn't work the first time. I now have it working with JAWS 9 and Firefox. I had to turn off the JAWS virtual PC and there seems to be a limit to how much will be read automatically. Feeds that have lengthy entries seem to get cut off.
I tried to install Firevox with Firefox 3 beta 4 but received an error saying the two weren't compatible.
