JAWS Custom Labels for NFL.com available

One feature in the JAWS screen reader is known as “custom label assign”. This is particularly helpful on web sites that fail to label graphics or other items that should contain alternative text or other such labels. This can turn the gibberish of /../images/33342.;gif into something more meaningful.
In the case of www.nfl.com, many of the team logos are not labeled correctly.
I’ve created a custom label file that gives these items correct names. You can obtain the file from http://www.kellyford.org/random/nfl.zip.
To use the file, ope it in the JAWS settings packager and choose the import option. For more detailed instructions see the JAWS help file within the Settings Packager.
