Hi Damon,

It works very well with the real screen reader, Window-Eyes <Smile>.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] RSS news again


Hi there,

I gave the RSS agregator NewsAloud a go, as mentioned here on the list.
Just wanted to report back that I found it really clunky and there are
some significantly inaccessible bits in it.  

I spoke with the NextUp peple who are aware that there is a problem for
JAWS users with this software.  It seems they are unlikely to put much
more work into this software as the take-up was very low.  

So, on my search for another RSS reader, I was wondering if anyone had
come across the Outlook RSS reading plug-in called News Gator 
http://www.newsgator.com/ngs/default.aspx

If so, can anyone vouch for its accessibleness?
