[Athen] athen-list Digest, Vol 178, Issue 9

Yes, that  is correct.  NVDA and Jaws can't trigger annotations on the webpage.  They have a letter "a" as a keystroke listed -- only see this in Jaws.  However, with VoiceOver you cannot highlight (Or maybe I don't know how), but if you press "a" as a keystroke the annotation process begins.

With Jaws and NVDA you can read annotations others have made, and make comments on them, but I don't know a means to trigger the annotation creation from the webpage or web document.

Let me know if you learn something else.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm interested in whether any campuses have used the Hypothes.is annotation tool with JAWS. I'm having difficulty getting the annotation/highlight tool to activate when I select text using the keyboard in JAWS.  When I select the text with my mouse, the tools do appear.   It's almost as if the Hypothesis website isn't recognizing the JAWS text selection.

Thanks,
Carrie Million
