The website of the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport has been made available by telephone to people without access to a computer. The DCMS claims to be the first Government department to do so.
Culture secretary, Tessa Jowell, said that “the blind and partially-sighted will benefit too. Only one in ten of this group are computer users so a huge number will now be able to access information about what we are up to, and how we spend the public funding we receive.”
Is telephone access a better alternative to assistance software for accessing Web sites? Discuss the Accessify forum.
