Did you respond with how NVDA works with it or how windoweyes at least does
more than jaws?
Take care,
Sina

Dear Jamal
Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific technical Support. SilverLight's
accessibility does not include support for text edit
areas. This is the reason for the JAWSR screen reading software issues with
SilverLight. If I can be of any additional assistance
to you, feel free to email me back.
Be sure to include all previous correspondence pertaining to this matter
when replying to this message so that we might better
assist you.
Regards,
Mr. Tracey Jackson,
Technical Support Specialist

Hi Jamal -- Perhaps this is an afterthought, but have you forwarded this
information to FS support? (They have enough to deal with
with the stuff I have forwarded to them, but maybe this is something that needs
to be
addressed.)

Subject: Silverlight accessibility
FYI: I just tried the following Silverlight site with the latest versions of
three screen readers:
http://all-access.cbssports.com/player.html?code=wisyou
It seemed to work well with NVDA 2010.1, worked partially with Window-Eyes
7.2 public beta 1, and did not work at all with JAWS 11.0.756.
I thought one of the major feature enhancements of JAWS 11 is support for UIA,
the accessibility API that Silverlight uses instead
of MSAA (Silverlight controls are a subset of Windows Presentation Foundation,
the successor to Windows Forms in the .NET
Framework). Is some kind of manual configuration needed to make the latest
JAWS work with Silverlight? I tried both IE 7 and
Firefox 3.6.
