[Athen] alternative to OneNote that is screen reader friendly

[Karlen Communications]

OneNote has a lot of accessibility features built in but adaptive
technology, including JAWS does not script for it as OneNote was developed
for tablet computers. Although OneNote is used by many people not using
laptops, adaptive technology vendors are still not supporting it.

 

I've been advocating support for OneNote since OneNote 2003.

 

Since OneNote is a sort of free form writing pad/application, my book on
using OneNote from the keyboard offers some tips and techniques for using
OneNote but without support from the AT developers, it is difficult to use.

 

I don't know of any other tool or any other similar tool with the
accessibility features included other than OneNote.

 

Cheers, Karen

>From my googling it looks like Onenote is not compatible with JAWS or any

other screenreader. Does anyone have a Onenote alternative they could
recommend that is screenreader friendly? In particular, I'm looking for
something that will work well with Window-Eyes.

 

Thanks in advance,

Howard
