Screen magnifier demonstration

Continuing their series on accessibility technologies in action, Yahoo’s User Interface Blog has a video demonstrating ZoomText.  Most of the issues involve the visual aspects of a web page (as opposed to a screen reader where the code used to create the page is more important) - for instance consistency in layout (as the user might only see part of the page at a time, so needs to know which direction to scroll in).

I liked the fact that it hasn’t been through their marketing department - the user demonstrating the magnifier obviously has Google as her default home page.
