Excuse me, I know what
they want, ie. equality, but from a programming standpoint they are not
equal. This is worse than the 80-20 principle. This is the 99.9-.1
principle. I'm not saying "don't give them an audio
summary". I am saying look at the amount of use, by the number of
people using the feature, and weigh it against the list of items to be
done. If that process is done, and this item comes out as a priority as a
"flag" item, great. But simply as a suggested thread without
review doesn't make sense to me.

The main thing the NFB and other ADA groups want is
equality. If normally sighted people have a summary, they want a summary,
too. We should consider eliminating the visual version as Greg
said. (I can hear the same roars). I doubt we can really eliminate
it given that it is a good sales feature, but maybe a compromise can be reached
that lets us offer a similar function to both sighted and visually impaired
voters. Suggestions welcome. ...Pat

I would think the "Keep It Simple" rule
should prevail.
With this thought in mind, should we eliminate the
visual summary screen?
(I can hear the roars of NO, WE
NEED IT, IT'S AN EXCELLENT FEATURE)
If there is a visual summary screen, then why is there
not an audio summary
screen?
If the ballot is so lengthy and complicated, as Steve
and Sue have
mentioned, turn the audio summary
off with a flag. I believe we would score
a lot of points with the ADA groups
if this feature were added.

I am in agreement with keeeping things as simple as
possible. Many users
will never use half of the features
and are only enterested in what it takes
to get their election done. Many
customers either by law or size do need
special features. Is it possible to
have the econlmy version for most
accounts and the cadillac versions
be specific to customers that have asked
for the changes?
