My university the MapWorks program, as recently as three weeks ago with the help of our MapWorks people I ran a test on the program to see how it interacted with screen reading programs. The two screen readers I tested were; NVDA ,and Natural Reader both were found to work well with the program. However to use the Natural Reader program you must use it in floating toolbar mode and copy and past into it. I hope this information is helpful. Have a great day!!!<br>Scott<br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Larry Kiser" <larry.kiser@sfcollege.edu><br><b>To: </b>athen-list@u.washington.edu<br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, March 16, 2012 1:55:14 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Athen] Software for Advising, Academic Planning & Retention<br><br>
