[bcab] Re: Re Open Office

Hi Bernard, haven't seen any replies to this. I am only speaking from vague
memories of recent discussions on this.  As I remember it, Open Office is
written in Java which makes it difficult/almost impossible for screen
readers, but System Access is the best at present.  I know people are
working on its accessibility, and of course the screenreaders keep
developing.  I believe Window Eyes has a very recently developed script
which gives better access to Java than the Java Bridge.  As to Jaws - I
don't know, but don't think it is workable.

Hello all,
 
Can anyone tell me if they have tried out the Open Office version 3.+
software with Jaws, and if so, how successful was it? In general, is Open
Office worth trying out as a blind user?
