Thank you all for your feedback. The developers have decided to go with a
self-voicing solution, as several of you encouraged. It is simple to code, and
it speaks the information as needed.

It sounds to me like Jaws is not the solution. They would be better off
making this a self voicing application.

Aaron, much depends on the app, e.g., whether it exposes its objects,
what is & is not included in the tab order, etc. If tab & arrow keys
don't work, (especially tab), & objects are not exposed, then my
feeling is that trying to use Jaws to read to some1 who is illiterate
is likely not the best solution, as Dale suggests.

The self speaking idea is your best way to go,
because jaws has no controls for touch screens.
so it wouldn't know what was touched to give question or even answer.
