Interesting MP3 from a person who uses a screenreader.  He narrates as he
loads an example website using his screenreader program.  Really interesting
to "hear" a website load:

http://www.whitelabel.org/upmystreet_screenreader_extract.mp3

It's funny that if you use a lot of contractions in your text, the
screenreader actually reads it as "apostrophe"

Example:

Your text reads, "I can't stand it!"

But the screenreader interprets it as:

"I can apostrophe t stand it!"
