Hi Mike
Kronos sucks
It has alot of down time.  Is not accessible by JAWS.  Java Access Bridge
does allow screen readers to read the content inside of the UI but you have
to click on it to get the cursor in it.  It's like putting in a ramp
directly after a stair case.  There is an application called Hot Spot that
can do preprogramed mousclicks for JAWS that might remedy that problem.
Java accessbridge causes all kinds of problems itself so I don't install it
anyway.
It will work with ZoomText if using JRE 1.5.  I  have no luck with using
MAGic with it.  I've been using it for nearly 3 years and I would like to
strangle the person who chose it for my campus.  I have a blind student
employee and I have to put in his time manually.
