[blindLaw] Anxiety about misconstruing content due to accessibility barriers

[Shannon]

I struggle with them.  The only solution I have found is when the document
is unclear after ocr, having sighted assistance to look at the part that is
unclear.  An AIRA agent is helpful if you do not want to ask a colleague or
legal assistant. 

Sincerely,

Subject: [blindLaw] Anxiety about misconstruing content due to accessibility
barriers

Hi, all,

This may be a strange question. However, I findmyself worrying incessantly
about having misread or skipped something in legal documents because of an
accessibility barrier. Specifically, these feelings become particularly
pronounced for me, and my confidence in what I read is not up to the
mark,given that:
A. One has to often convert documents into an accessible format using an OCR
solution. And the accuracy level of the output sometimes leaves much to be
desired; and
B. JAWS often jumps around in PDF documents between paras of its own accord,
so I end up not being fully confident about what I have read in such
documents.

Does anyone else struggle with these thoughts? Do you have in mind any
solutions?

Best,
Rahul
