Review of Writeboard - Discontinued

Summary

It is such a shame this is not more accessible as it is so simple to use and looks as if it would be keyboard and screen reader friendly. The let down is when you get to the text input area. It can be used with text to speech when the text is highlighted and spell checking is possible with a browser checker. Most links work other than the main box when the site is linearised! Text zooming and colour contrast levels are good.
