If you need the flow then I don't know of any way of getting at that information. Some of the text can be heard by tabbing around but this gives you no relationship between the information and I use the word "heard" because when I tried to extract the information it would not copy or it wouldn't copy even from the properties box where it is entered. You can try to run OCR on the file but again you don't have the relationship between informations. Visio files are now XML files so you can dig through the actual file in notepad or something to find the text but this is slow and tedious and again you don't get the relationships which is most of what people are trying to portray in visio. So I guess the answer is that visio is not really accessable with jaws unless someone has a method I don't know about.

I don't see it listed in the online help. There are some flow-chart / swimlane diagrams which I need to review. Thanks for any help.
