[Athen] screen readers other than jaws?

[Ron Stewart]

For the most part no it does not.  NVDA is a great general access product,
but it is totally unsuitable for access to most academic software and
applications such as MS Office.

Hello, Pratik. Do you know if the latest iteration of NVDA works with Office
2010?

I am working with several large University clients to install NVDA on their
machines and include it as a standard part of machine images. Unless there
are specific requests forJAWS features, they are instituting training
programs forNVDA to all students who need screen readers.

Regards,

Pratik

Some of our campuses are looking at putting NVDA on all their computers and
providing JAWS for those few who request it.

So far, JAWS has worked well here.  I have had a few students who use System
Access on their own, but they use JAWS when on campus.  No complaints.

Hello,

Happy new year - I've been curious so figured I'd ask if campuses are
standardizing on screen readers other than the perennial, JAWS? Are you
finding you are needing to have a mix of screen reading software available
for blind/visually impaired users?
