Hi Phil – haven’t tried using a screenreader together with read and write gold
but as that package contains quite good text to speech features in its own
right you may find that with adequate support in getting to know the product
you can demonstrate its main features without the need for a screenreader.
Some of the really nice touches for example include the ability to virtually
scan, OCR, and read back an image of text such as a piece of Flash content or a
pdf file with a single button press.
I suspect you’re right about Inspiration, I haven’t yet found a mind mapping
package that works with a screenreader or even one which outputs and imports
structured documents to mind maps.

Subject: [access-uk] Using Jaws with Texthelp read & write
Hi guys,
Quite a specialist one this time but worth a try..
I may be about to undertake some work as a freelance DSA assessor and as part
of this will be required to assess students with dyslexia and other print
disabilities other to visual impairment. as part of the assessments I will
need to demo the Texthelp Read & Write software and Inspirations mindmapping
software. My question is does anyone have any experience (good or bad!) of
attempting to use these software's with Jaws v8? I know Inspirations is very
visually based so I'm guessing this won't work that well if at all but not sure
about Texthelp...
I look forward to hearing from you,
Cheers,
Phil
