<font size=3>Curious about Powert <br><br>
Will it let the user only read an existing presentation or will it let
the user create powerpoint him or herself??<br><br>
Reading isn't good enough.<br><br>

powerpoint:<br>
Powertalk, which has been around for over 10 years,
still reads them just fine in Office 2010 from Win 7. Like NVDA,
there's also a portable version that will run on any computer despite
restrictions.

PowerTalk-1.2.14.exe (3.4 MB) </a></b><br><br>
Switching from Outlook to Thunderbird was a step that I don't regret for
the following reasons:<br>
free<br>
NVDA accessible<br>
better low vision customization<br>
lots of good add-ons<br><br>
As for making accessible Powerpoint presentations, maybe this will
help:<br><br>

PowerPoint will recognize some of the accessibility issues that people
using adaptive technology can encounter. This book details the decision
making process that starts your design process for your presentation. The
accessibility of your PowerPoint documents depends on how you are going
to distribute them. The chapters in this book provide information on what
elements of a slide can be accessible and how someone using adaptive
technology can access tables, Excel or Word documents, shapes or
SmartArt. You’ll learn how to make accessible slide masters…which is not
as difficult as you might think. <br>

with Word and Excel, including the 2010 version, though I am coming at
this only as a tester, not as a screen reader reliant user. NVDA
themselves state that their product does not work with Access or
PowerPoint. And it works only partially with Outlook 2010. NVDA
recommends use of Mozilla Thunderbird as an installed mail client, in
lieu of Outlook. <br><br>
My gut is NVDA will not work with PowerPoint going forward, unless MS or
some other benefactor gives the project some $ to do the work. <br><br>

<dd>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.<br><br>

<dd>Hello,<br><br>
<dd>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?<br><br>
