When I went to the IHOP website some time last year, the menu was fully accessible. Then, they changed it, and I had to use an old version from the Way Back Machine. Now, I went to the modern site again, and they are still inaccessible. After searching several sites, I finally found one that had the pdf. But I would need to open my Windows 7 virtual machine, open Openbook (ocr scanning software), load the pdf, convert it, and only then could I start reading the actual menu. Of course, I would also need to use the find command to get to the various sections, since it's not html and I can't just click on a link or go to the various headings, so that would take more time (usually, the last doesn't bother me, but it just adds more inconvenience here). So I just settled for a sampler, because my parents don't have all day to either read the menu and have me choose, or sit and wait for me to do all of the above. This whole thing took only a few minutes when the actual site was accessible. Am I missing something here, perhaps with using NVDA?
