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.)

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.
