Starting yesterday, Yahoo! has made Yahoo! Mail Classic, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! IM, Yahoo! Search, Yahoo! Finance, amongst other products "fully accessible".

Which means these products can now be accessed easily even by the visually impaired and people with physical disabilities.

For instance, upon opening Yahoo! Mail Classic, users would be greeted with a voice that says "please enter your user name and password". The visually impaired can then proceed to do so using the incorporated Braille reader and carry on communicating.

Yahoo! products have been enhanced so that not only the visually impaired but people with a range of disabilities can hop onto the Internet bandwagon.

The people who've made this possible are the Bangalore-based Yahoo! India Research & Development team who've worked under the guidance of Yahoo! accessibility guru, Victor Tsaran to make Yahoo! products "fully accessible" across the board.

Besides, the new Yahoo! Mail Classic with accessibility feature is touted as simple enough to be able to work on all standard screen reader softwares.

Users need to familiarize themselves with screen reader- and screen magnifier- softwares before using the enhanced products. Otherwise, given basic Internet connectivity, any user with any disability can fully access these products.
