[blindlaw] Is ExamSoft Still Incompatible with Jaws?

[Tai Tomasi]

I don't believe it is accessible and I find nothing addressing the subject via Google. I asked the Iowa bar examiners to allow me to complete the essay portion using Microsoft Word.

Subject: [blindlaw] Is ExamSoft Still Incompatible with Jaws?

Hello list,

I am in the process of applying for the Maryland bar exam, which permits sighted testtakers to complete the essay portion with a laptop outfitted with examSoft. When I was in law school, ExamSoft rendered Jaws inoperable. Since I graduated in 2016, I wanted to make sure that this was still the case before submitting my accommodations paperwork.

Thank you,

Laura
