Hi:
Argo UML
I don't know about the above software. In general UML is graphical in nature
and not very accessible. Perhaps some others will know more.You might be able
to do things with hot keys in the application but, again, I don't know.
Microsoft visio 2007
For the above, I have seen allot of hot keys for it defined in various
documentation and articles which may make it usable. It is used as a Forms
Designer in one of the Visual Studio products but the hot keys did not seem to
work and I found it pretty much inaccessible using Windoweyes. I have not tried
it with JAWS.
Sorry but I think both products deal with things in a graphical mode. If they
have hot keys set up or accessibility hooks for Screen Readers then they might
work with JAWS but unless someone has some experience with them I would just be
guessing.

Subject: Accessibility of software for degree
Hello everyone
In September I will be doing a computing degree. I will be using various
software and I would like to know if any of you on the list have any experience
with these applications and if they are accessible with jaws.
The applications are:
Select SSADM Professional
Argo UML
Microsoft visio 2007
One of my modules involves using Adobe Web Premium CS4. My lecturer says I
can do speech processing instead. Just out of curiosity I would like to know if
anyone is having success using it so I can let my university know. I'm blind,
but I was visually impaired four years ago so I have a good understanding of
colours and shapes.
The other software I will be using is Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2008, which
I have been informed is accessible. When I enrol on the course I will be
subscribed to the Microsoft developer network academic alliance where I will
have access to the latest Microsoft products. One of the products will be
Microsoft visual studios 2010 professional. I have been on the list for a while
so I was able to read the conversation, which said it is not accessible with
jaws, but it is with NVDA.
Any advice or directions on websites where I could obtain answers on the
accessibility of the applications would be extremely appreciated
Thanks in advance
Michael
