I have been using Jaws with Lotus Notes for about 7 years, through various
versions of Jaws and Notes. I am currently on Jaws 7.0, and Notes 5. Tomorrow
I am getting upgraded to Jaws 8 and Notes 7, so wish me well.
On the whole, the e-mail aspect of Notes works reasonably well, but you do need
to be on your toes all the time, as not everything on the screen is spoken.
The most significant loss is the field names at the start of the message. You
need to just line down after completing the "to" line, to get to "cc", "bcc",
"subject", and finally the message body.
Attachments may be an issue too, as Jaws will not always be able to focus on
the attachment so you can launch it. Control End may put you on the
attachment, but getting to the second and subsequent attachment is, I think,
impossible. I detach everything to a temporary folder, work with them their,
then save as appropriate from there.
Most databases also work OK. It depends a lot on what has been written in by
the developer.
I tend to find that with both mail and databases, I need to switch between the
Jaws and PC cursors a lot.
If you have any specific questions, come back either through the list or to me
directly, and I will do my best to help. I wish you luck, and would ask the
same for myself for tomorrow.
All the best,
Ken
