Hi Adrian, Thanks for your commentscomments, I rang the software company yesterday in the end and they've sent me a 30 day evaluation copy so I'll see how I get on with it. Thanks again, Phil _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrian Higginbotham Sent: 12 May 2008 16:15 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [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.

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 __________ NOD32 3093 (20080512) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
