[access-uk] Re: Using Jaws with Texthelp read & write

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
