It isn't a Bookshare issue. it is a Microsoft issue. Internet Explorer, no
matter what screen reader you use won't read the browse button on other web
pages either's. Jaws has made a work around for the button to work, but on
almost all the sites I visit, the "browse" button won't show up.
Prime example,
Try sending a file using this website, the browse button won't speak, unless
you are out of forms mode in jaws.

Don't blame Bookshare for a IE problem, and yes Ann, they have been working
on it, we complained about it, a long time ago, and that is when they
contacted jaws and WE and asked them about the issue, and JAWS and WE's
makers along with Bookshare determined it is a IE situation, not a Bookshare
one. It also will not read the browse button, on my web email accounts,
either velocity, or the Carroll Center. And on one of the library sites I
use on a regular basis it doesn't work either.

Hi Tom,
Well, yes, in other words, the control has two parts to it, right and
you have to tab to the second part of it, below or to the right of the
edit box and press the spacebar to activate the button.
This is true, and it is all well and good, but I repeat. The control
does not show up in SA at all! There's no edit box, no browse button
no anything, nada. I don't know why.
Just because it is not hard to activate the control in WE doesn't mean
that this problem is not worthy of solving. Even in WE the control is
not voiced properly because it says edit twice, not edit and browse as
it should. I do not understand why Jaws works with this control, and
why it doesn't work properly in the other screen readers.
With Bookshare needing more volunteers and more students joining
Bookshare, this web site really needs to be placed higher on the
priority list, folks. Someone who is using SA exclusively cannot
volunteer for Bookshare as it stands now. You can't upload files to
Bookshare at all. There isn't even a work-around as there is in WE.
It just doesn't show up, not at all.
While I'm on the subject of validating books for Bookshare, is there a
way to get SA to announce page breaks? this is crucial when validating
books because you have to check that first the book *has* page breaks,
and then, you have to put blank lines between the page breaks and the
page numbers.
