Fluid Engage - Ideal accessible interaction for code entry

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good morning,

I want to start a discussion about the ideal accessible interaction  
for the code entry screen.  I don't have the answer, sorry, but I will  
start the conversation with a couple of points.

1. Ideally the user would not have to learn / adapt to an unfamiliar  
input device.  Understandably the keypad is familiar to sighted users,  
or users who are not using assistive technology, however it is an  
unfamiliar paradigm for entering information into a web application  
for a AT user.

2. Having not tested the keypad, I will when buttons are labeled, I  
wonder how similar the experience is to dialing a phone number on the  
iPhone for a VO / Zoom user.

3. Ideally there would be an editable field where the user could  
optionally enter information using the standard on-screen keyboard.  
Perhaps this exists and VO is not finding it.

Thanks,
Everett Zufelt
