Eclipse can't interface with JAWS, so you have to get somebody else to do it. Relativity does interface with JAWS (though not well - so if you have a larger support staff, it's not a bad idea to teach them how to do it). The excel file can include "tags," and other information about each item, as well as a link to an OCR'd PDF (embedded in the excel) of the document. You can read and take notes, in the excel, and then run it back through Relativity or Eclipse so that your notations and tags are incorporated into the platform. Sometimes, if you are working with a massive production, the excel gets cranky with too many entries, so it's better to do it in batches of about 5,000 documents. I also use this trick to generate an excel list of all documents responsive to a particular request or a privilege log - you generate the excel without the embedded document and then you can turn that into a chart or list.

I don't know about any other platforms, and I think there is a lot more these vendors could be doing to increase access.
