[blindlaw] Is ExamSoft Still Incompatible with Jaws?

[Jim McCarthy]

Laura,
I assume Tai is right but that you would receive the accommodation of using
MS word. There was a time no one could use computers to take the essay part
of the MD exam without seeking an accommodation. Thus, this should not be a
difficult one to request and receive. Good luck with the Maryland Bar.

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
