Sounds like there are computers being used but - the computers are only displaying the image or analog tv type signals and JAWS needs digitized text in a known format in order to read.

The smart board is like a TV. It receives the images from the central processor and displays than on other boards. Since there is no PC interface being used JFW isn't used. -----Original Message----- From: Dave McElroy, WA6BEF [mailto:dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 1:30 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: "smart board" and Jaws I wonder if anyone has ever heard of a thing called a "smart board and whether there is any way to get Jaws to read it? Evidently, this is a gadget that some schools are utilizing so that the teacher writes something, as they would on a chalk board, but it's networked to all the other "smart boards" in the room. Apparently, someone's child, second or third grade I think, will be in a classroom full of these things and he says he's heard that JAWS in fact doesn't work with them. Any thoughts?
