We must use different parts of the web then. I don’t use google docs, and if you really want an online word processor use the web version of Microsoft Word since they have made the effort to make it accessible. While it is not a good experience I was just able to create a gist, see https://gist.github.com/jareds/8832236 Most of what I use the web for is online shopping, reading news, and technical documentation. This is generally accessible although I do agree that web apps like Gmail leave a lot to be desired. That is why I use Mail on OSX or the mail app on my iPhone. The popups are annoying but usable. If something doesn’t behave as expected then you should check the bottom of the page to see if something new appeared. I realize I am not an average blind computer user but in my case I will stand by my 95% comment. My 95% may be a lot higher than the average blind user though.
