[blindLaw] Does anyone have NVDA and JAWS on their computer

[Shannon Dillon]

Hi,

Does anyone have both NVDA and JAWS on their computer? I have a ton of
files to review that are pdfs. They are not very accessible. Words all
run together without any spaces, for example.  And when I ask my
assistant if she can tell what is accessible, or what I can or cannot
read, she says NVDA reads all the stuff to her but I tell her JAWS
won't read it.

Generally, I need JAWS because I need it to manage track changes and
because I know all the editing keystrokes to check for font and color,
etc. But for this particular project, I don't need track changes. I
just need to read a ton of files and I don't have time to go through
each one to tell my assistant why it is or is not accessible and how
she should make it accessible.

Does anyone else have these kinds of issues? And does anyone else have
NVDA and JAWS on their computer? I'm thinking of putting NVDA on just
to read these files and see if they really are accessible with NVDA.
